Could you tell us which file to add this change to?

 

"Then open your Apache vhost configuration and add the FcgidMaxRequestLen directive with a big enough value "

after changing the FastCGI conf just reload Apache is sufficient, no need to restart it

I have directly this problem. I made higher upload_max_filesize in php.ini but it doesn't help. I want realize the 2nd step but I can't find Apache vhost configuration file. 

/etc/apache2/mods-enable/fcgid.conf  doesn't exist 

Where is the vhost configuration file in Linux vmxxxx.wedos.net 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 27 19:49:27 BST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/fcgi.load

LoadModule fcgid_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so

# add the following lines

<IfModule fcgid_module>
FcgidMaxRequestLen 51200000
</IfModule>


/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

works for all virtual hosts using fcgi.

if you are using ispconfig3

#cd /etc/apache2/mods-available

#nano fcgid.conf

adding on new line "FcgidMaxRequestLen 51200000"

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  AddHandler    fcgid-script .fcgi
  FcgidConnectTimeout 20
  FcgidMaxRequestLen 51200000
</IfModule>

#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And try to upload again :)

Just wanted to let you know what I did on centos 6.4.

 Found the file  /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

 nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

 and added the line

 FcgidMaxRequestLen 2000000

 Then restart the apache service.

You are amazing! This helped a lot, specifically the FcgidMaxRequestLen directive
