WebMatrix: increasing upload_max_filesize in php.ini

Question

I have installed joomla from webmatrix app gallery. I need to increase the default upload size (2M) to 6M but I cannot find the PHP folder.

I am using windows 8.1 pro 64bit

I have checked the following directory:
C:\\Program Files\\IIS Express

just to be sure I checked the 32 bit folder too
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express
But I couldn't find the location. Searching the Program files is very time consuming (As my Program File folder is not indexed) so if you could direct me to the location I would be very thankful.

By the way I have PHP v 5.4 and 5.5 installed within webmatrix.

Answer 1

php.ini file path is:

C:\program files (x86)\iis express\PHP\php.ini

and if you want to increase size of your uploads then change Upload_max in the php.ini file from 2m into you want for example 1024M

Answer 2

There should be a PHP folder in the directories you listed above. Inside this directory will be a version number directory. In that directory will be the php.ini.

ie PHP\\v5.4\\php.ini

Alternatively create a new php file in webmatrix and add the following line into it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Run the page and you will get a list of php environment variables. One of them will be the location of the php.ini file.
