Adjusting PHP settings (memory_limit, upload size)

If you see errors like Allowed memory size exhausted or cannot upload a large file, you can raise the relevant PHP limits in the DirhamHost panel.

1. Open Select PHP Version, then click the Options (or PHP Settings) tab.
2. Adjust the values you need and save.

The settings you will most often change:

• memory_limit - how much RAM a script may use. Raise to 256M for busy WordPress/WooCommerce sites.
• upload_max_filesize - the largest single file you can upload, e.g. 64M.
• post_max_size - must be equal to or larger than upload_max_filesize.
• max_execution_time - seconds a script may run before timing out, e.g. 120.

For uploads, remember to raise both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, otherwise the smaller value wins. These limits exist to keep the shared server stable, so there is a maximum we allow; if you need more than the panel permits, a higher plan or VPS is the answer. Changes usually take effect immediately, but you can clear any cache to be sure. Unsure which value to change? Our team will advise - WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767, 24/7.
