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 hosted on Heroku itself. I couldn't find anything on docs that'd address this issue entirely.
I tried an hack, I created a file named custom_php.ini and in ProcFile I added this line:
web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 -i custom_php.ini .
And in my custom_php.ini file I set upload_max_filesize to 100M.
But this didn't work for the files of size more than 10MB. What I'm missing here? Is it even possible? Is there any official way around?
To increase the file upload limit in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox, follow these steps:
- Create a file named
custom_php.ini, preferably.
- Insert two attributes
post_max_size and upload_max_filesize and set their value to the desired upload limit. (In my case, its 100M)
- Create a ProcFile and add this line
web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 -i custom_php.ini .
- 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.
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
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.
