I used this method
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini
Now, it looks as if you touch anything in the .htaccess file it shuts down your site. Is there anyway to have a local php.ini file allowing bigger uploads with this method? Everytime I add
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
to the .htaccess file it kills the site with a server error.
Thanks
