Cant upload wordpress.zip

[dionkb]

Hi.

I upload wordpress.zip using filezilla, which indicates that it was uploaded successfully, but the file is not appear on the server. I tried using cpanel filemanager as well to no avail.

Is there a setting I need to change?

Hi and welcome to the forum! You have to extract the zip file on your computer and upload the content of the extracted folder inside your domain’s htdocs folder. Or install WordPress through Softaculous, isn’t it better?

OP did not specify what kind of zip is it for.
However, the symptoms encountered are similar.
That’s why I pointed OP to the thread to remind him of file size limit of free hosting

How to upload big files / archives

Because of this limit, you cannot upload the archive directly and have it extracted on the server. However, you can easily upload the contents manually. To do so, you will first need a good FTP file manager for your desktop and setup an FTP connection. See the how to upload files with FTP article for more…

What is the file/upload size limit

On all InfinityFree servers is a file size limit of 10 MB. It’s important to note that this is a file size limit and not an upload limit. The difference is subtle, but important. An upload limit could be set through PHP settings, but this limit is enforced on the file system level. No PHP configuration can override this limit and it applies to files uploaded through FTP or the file manager as well. Can the limit be increased? No. The size limit is fixed and cannot be increased in any way. 10 M…

They all reference the file size limit and also have workarounds in them to make sure they’re uploaded correctly.
