Increase the limit of file upload size in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox

Question

I have encountered an issue while uploading files to dropbox through my application that is hosted on Heroku. I wanted to upload approx 100MB files and they aren\'t being ho

Answer 1

It's actually in the Heroku doc: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-php-settings#php-runtime-settings

Just create a .user.ini file in the web directory with your custom directives

Answer 2

In case of nginx and PHP FPM the following works:

Add these to nginx config (typically into php-fpm.inc.conf):

php_value[post_max_size]=100M
php_value[upload_max_filesize]=100M

Answer 3

To increase the file upload limit in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox, follow these steps:

1. Create a file named custom_php.ini, preferably.
2. Insert two attributes post_max_size and upload_max_filesize and set their value to the desired upload limit. (In my case, its 100M)
3. Create a ProcFile and add this line web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 -i custom_php.ini .
4. Commit these changes to Heroku.

I missed to add post_max_size in my custom_php.ini. And by this method, you can override any php.ini configuration for Heroku.

Answer 4

I was going to comment on Romain's answer, but I don't have enough points:

The .user.ini file with the desired changes needs to be placed in the root folder, which is the /public folder if you're using Laravel.

Just check your root folder in your Procfile.
