Answer 1

My first instinct is to guess that PHP is reading a different php.ini.

In Debian (and most likely Ubuntu), each version of PHP (cli, cgi, and apache) has its own copy of php.ini.

Answer 2

I just pored over the code I was running, and someone had hard-coded this into a config file:

ini_set('memory_limit', '20M');

Which was overriding everything else I was doing. Whew.

Answer 3

You could try setting it in the .htaccess file, that is what i had to do to get a site working on one server.

here are the settings i used:

php_value  upload_max_filesize  50M
php_value  post_max_size  60M
php_value  memory_limit  128M
