title: Increase max file upload size in Wordpress hosted in Azure VM
body: <p>After being fed up with Godaddy hosting, I am trying to migrate my site to Azure VM. I am stuck at <code>maximum file upload size limit</code> which is fixed at 40 MB, while my site backup file is around 850 MB.<br>
  Adding below lines in <code>.htaccess</code> file through <code>WP File Manager</code> didn't work. No luck with restarting VM too.</p>
  
  <pre><code>php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
  php_value post_max_size 512M
  php_value memory_limit 256M
  php_value max_execution_time 300
  php_value max_input_time 300
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there some workaround to increase size of file upload? How do I see site files? I feel CPanel's File Manager was pretty good and straight forward.</p>
