I followed a couple of online tutorials for installing on a shared server via FTP/File Manager. I guess the instructions were for v4? I’ll take a close look at your suggestions. Thank you for the reply JoeyK.

In your tutorial the last “sed” bit has:

```auto
sed -i 's/post_max_size = 8M/post_max_size = 64M/' /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.inifile_uploads = On

```

the file\_uploads part of the paste throws an error, obviously. Just wanted to let you know!

of course, thanks for the great tutorial!

What are we supposed to do with the “file\_uploads = On” ? was it there erroneously, or is there a missing step that should be documented on the tutorial?
