If it is php (sounds like it is from your reply), there are two things you
need to change in the php.ini file
  ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
  post_max_size = 72M
(for example), and
  ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
  upload_max_filesize = 64M
(for example)

Typically POST size is bigger than file size limit (much bigger if you want
to upload two large files in one POST for example).

If you're running php under fcgi you need to kill the php process so it
restarts with the new php.ini.

The location of the primary php.ini file seems to vary widely from
installation to installation. On the one I'm looking at here it is in
/etc/php5/apache2/
