Answer

Increase the default upload file size limit:

Plesk for Linux

  1. Connect to the server via SSH

  2. Open /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini in a file editor and set required values in bytes. The default value is 2147483647 bytes (=2GB). For example, the following will set the values to 21474836480 (20GB):

    post_max_size = 21474836480
    upload_max_filesize = 21474836480

  3. Open /etc/sw-cp-server/config and set value client_max_body_size:

    client_max_body_size 20000m;

  4. Restart "psa" service:

    # service psa restart

  5. Log out from Plesk Interface and log into Plesk again to apply changes

  6. Create a directory for custom templates:

    # mkdir -p /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/server

  7. Copy nginx default template to this directory:

    # cp -a /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/{default,custom}/server/nginxPleskAccess.php

  8. Modify client_max_body_size like the following:

    # grep client_max_body_size /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/server/nginxPleskAccess.php
    client_max_body_size 20000m;

  9. Reconfigure server template:

    # plesk sbin httpdmng --reconfigure-server

These parameters are applied globally to all domains when if comes to uploading files through a Plesk interface in Domains > example.com > File Manager

Plesk for Windows

  1. Connect to the server via RDP

  2. Open file C:Program Files (x86)Pleskadminconfphp.ini in a file editor and set required values in bytes. The default value is 2147483647 bytes (=2GB). For example, the following will set the values to 21474836480 (20GB):

    post_max_size = 21474836480
    upload_max_filesize = 21474836480

  3. Restart "Plesk Management Service"

  4. Log out from Plesk UI and log in again to apply changes
