Sorry everyone… I got mine working and forgot to post my solution. If I remember correctly, I simply changed the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size lines in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini . They now look like this:
post_max_size = 80M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
I might have needed to restart apache with “/etc/init.d/apache2 restart” on my debian-based wordpress server.
I hope that’s helpful! I’ll be happy and to try and reverse engineer if people have questions.
