In addition to restarting Apache as Dennis said, do you have the one or 
both values defined anywhere else?  grep might help you here.  It might, 
for instance, be in an Apache configuration file, a .htaccess file or 
even a local php.ini file.

P.S. Don't concern yourself with T.L.  It isn't his ears that are pointed.

Well, I haven't been too concerned about that, because this is just
a straight Ubuntu install on my own machine.  Do you think it's possible
that Ubuntu did something so horrible as to hide overrides to these
configuration options somewhere other than the php.ini?  Also, I tried
a .htaccess in the directory I'm running from, and it didn't work.
Wouldn't that take precedence over the httpd.conf?  I'm not sure.
Anywhere else I should look?

Thanks for your help,

OK, let's start at the beginning.  You said you have a stock Ubuntu 
installation, so /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini would be the correct 
configuration file.  However, what about other configuration files being 
parsed?  They will be done after the php.ini file.  Any one of them 
could override it.

As to whether you can use .htaccess or not depends Apache options.  The 
default for Ubuntu is to not allow overrides from .htaccess, which is 
why it didn't work (see the AllowOverrides Apache command).

I installed Apache and PHP on a test Ubuntu system I have here, and made 
the following changes to the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file

post_max_size=16M
upload_max_filesize=8M

and restarted Apache.  The changes were reflected in the phpinfo() page, 
so it does work.  Please check your changes again.  Exactly what did you 
enter in the file?

BTW, standard Ubuntu and Debian operation is to NOT change the default 
configuration files.  Rather, you add the parameters you want to a new 
file in a directory reserved for it - in this case, 
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d.  That way when you update a package, your 
customized changes don't get lost.  Placing these same changes in 
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/zzzmyconfig.ini also worked.

That's just "Pointed Head".  He has his own rules for usenet, and thinks 
the rest of the world should follow them.

Ding ding ding!

I put the to lines in question:

post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M

into a new file in conf.d, and php.ini immediately
reflected the changes, and large uploads work now.  Yay.

Thanks for your help,

As no doubt phpinfo() has told you to do.

It mentions the conf.d directory, but it doesn't
tell me that changes in the php.ini won't take effect.

Always a pleasure...

Because that is _not_ what happens.

That's great.

I don't know why it didn't work in your php.ini file, unless you added 
the lines at the beginning of the file (and didn't delete the later 
entries).

I meant that phpinfo() reflected the changes.

No, I just edited the values in place, and
the values don't exist anywhere else in the
file, or anywhere else in /etc for that matter.

Anyway, it seems that the conf.d method is
superior for reasons that you mentioned, so
I'm happy.

I don't know why it didn't work in your php.ini file, then.  It did when 
I made the change to my file.

But as long as you got it working, that's good.

No time to read every post, but ... is it possible your servers are 
imposing the 1M limit? Some do.
