Hello, I installed ISPConfig based on this tutorial: (mailserverguru :install-ispconfig-on-ubuntu-24-04/) and everything seemed to work perfectly. However, when I tried to import my database, PHPMyAdmin wouldn't allow it, saying the file was too large. I've already added "upload-max-filesize" to all php.ini files for all versions of PHP I have installed. I also tried adding these directives to the domain menu (in the ISPConfig dashboard) for PHP, but that didn't work either. When I accessed PHPMyAdmin, under the import tab, it still says "Browse your computer: (Maximum size: 2,048KB)." I know there are ways to import large backups directly, but since I plan to try installing my WHMCS in ISPConfig, it's important for me to increase the maximum size within PHPMyAdmin. If anyone can help me figure out how to do this, I'd appreciate it.

Some general php.ini settings are probably overruled within the config file enabling phpmyadmin in your webserver. Or within de php related settings you'll find in that config file.
In a default setup, changing the parameters in php.ini should be enough. Maybe he did not restart the web server and php-fpm daemons to apply them.
Yes, I did that, I even restarted the VPS. The info.php shows the change correctly, but in the phpmyadmin panel, it didn't change. Look the print
PHPmyadmin is not part of that website, so any changes you make to the website or info.php file will not show the settings from PHPMyAdmin, it just shows what an app would see that you host in that site. PHPMyAdmin is a globally installed Ubuntu package that is just blended into the website using an Alias. You must check the php-fpm php.ini file for the default PHP version of the OS (PHP 8.3) and adjust it in that file. The file on Ubuntu is /etc/php/8.3/fpm/php.ini. Then restart php 8.3 FPM daemon: service php8.3-fpm restart
It worked. The problem was in phpmyadmin. I was simply refreshing the page. After making the changes, I had to log out and log back into phpmyadmin, and it updated. Thanks everyone for your help!
