Hi

Just a quick post to help anyone wanting to increase the phpmyadmin upload to greater then 128Mb  
You need to SSH into your server and edit as root or use sudo  
vi ~iworx/etc/php.ini  
change the following settings  
post\_max\_size = \<change to your desired value - ie 1000m\>  
upload\_max\_filesize = \<change to your desired value - ie 1000m\>  
memory\_limit = \<change to your desired value - ie 1000m\>  
Save  
If settings do not show, restart apache or restart server and check  
I hope that helps  
Many thanks  
John
