By default PHP is configured to upload files upto 2MB in size, this will give you an error message if you are trying to upload larger files. If you need to upload larger files this limit can be increased by editing the following values in the file /etc/php.ini:

• memory_limit
• upload_max_filesize
• post_max_size

You will then need to restart Apache.
