upload_max_filesize & Joomla responsive websites

Greetings,

I have an interesting predicament and Joomla! is pointing its finger at the host server's php settings. I am attempting to install a responsive template on top of Joomla 3.3.6, and the extension manager fails to properly install the T3 Framework plugin. The error message as follows;

Extension Manager Warnings said:
Maximum PHP file upload size is too small: This is set in php.ini in both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size settings of your PHP settings (located in php.ini and/or .htaccess file)
Extension Manager Warnings said:
The maximum file size for uploads is set to less than 8MB which may impact on uploading large extensions.

So I decided to investigate this matter in cPanel's PHP Configuration as well as in system information settings in Joomla!.

It's either I'm missing something or the two contradict themselves. I don't know what, if anything, can be done to remedy this problem? The theme's template installs perfectly but the T3 framework fails. I also have this additional warning popup, whatever it means.

Extension Manager Warnings said:
The PHP Temporary Directory Is Not Set : The PHP temporary directory is the directory that PHP uses to store an uploaded file before Joomla! can access this file. Whilst the directory not being set isn't always a problem, if you are having issues with manifest files not being detected or uploaded files not being detected, setting this in your php.ini file might fix the issue.

Any help on the matter will be appreciated. Thanks.

You may need to create a php.ini in your public_html folder and put
Code:
upload_max_filesize = 100M

or just upload the file via FTP and go to "Extension Manager -> Install" use the "Install from Directory" option instead.

I tried the first option with no success. I would attempt to upload the package directly through FTP but the supporting documentation has no such method.

Brian, i have just created a dummy account and used softaculous to install joomla to reproduce that error. But when i enter my admin panel, i see this

Did you use softaculous to install joomla?
Did you changed anything on your .htaccess file?


If you want me to investigate it if you still facing that error, please create me a test admin account and PM me the login details.

I used the autoscript to install Joomla 3.3.6. This is probably my sixth installation of the CMS to try and get the purity iii template working. If you want to help I won't stop you. :)

Use my admin account, it's all the same. I can change it later.

// Moving to support section

@"z3r0d4t4"

Your upload_max_filesize has been increased to 128M

Please try now and let me know the result.

edit: It's back to 20mb somehow. Let me investigate it further more.

Could you please try now? Don't do any changes if it still doesn't work so i can investigate it deeply.
