Trying to edit php.ini file on VPS hosted Wordpress Site

Hi, I just signed up for VPS hosting, and have got word press installed. I need to edit the php.ini file to change values such as upload_max_filesize so I can install the theme I want.

I have connected to my server space using Filezilla, and found the correct php.ini file. however, I am unable to download it and get an ambiguous error - "could not start transfer", which after some research, suggests a problem/restriction on the server side.

Please advise.

This line of command will help update the size limit from 2MB to 20 MB. Login through the SSH tunnel and type the following:

sed -i s/"upload_max_filesize = 2M"/"upload_max_filesize = 20M"/g /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Alternatively, you can run the vi editor and edit the php.ini file.

vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
