There are specific scenarios when you may be asked to change your PHP configuration. Specifically, you may be directed to edit a file on your server called php.ini and to increase the max_file_uploads limit.
What is the max_file_uploads PHP setting?
max_file_uploads is a setting managed through the PHP Options, which sets the maximum number of files that can be uploaded simultaneously.
While do not allow direct changes to PHP.ini on our servers. However, PHP configuration changes can be made from cPanel by following these steps:
How to Increase the max_file_uploads Limit in cPanel
The PHP Selector is omitted by default in cPanel and might be missing from your account if you are hosting with a different web host. All ChemiCloud customers should see the Select PHP Version section in their hosting account’s cPanel.
1) Log into cPanel.
2) Look for the SOFTWARE section and click on Select PHP version
3) Click on the Options link in the new window.

5) Once you’ll do any change, please do a left-hand side click anywhere outside the dropdown or text input box. If the change was successful, you will see a green box with a message which will confirm that the change has been applied.
