Trouble Finding php.ini file for Wordpress

Hey Guys,

I brought a ReadyNAS a few weeks back, I managed to get the Wordpress app installed onto the system, All seems to be working well until I try and upload a theme for Wordpress,

I get an error saying that the file limit size is 2MB and i cannot upload it?..

I know this is an error that can be changed in the php.ini file located in the root directories somewhere.. But where can i find this pesky little file on the ReadyNAS?. Is there another way around this issue? as i am unable to even find the data files for Wordpress. i beleive its located somewhere in .../apps/wordpress . but i cannot load up this directory directly.

THanks guys, i had read somewhere about using SSH or something, but i have no idea how to use it or really want to after everyone saying to use caution with it.

    If you are using the default volume name (data), then you will likely find php.ini in \\nasipaddress\data\.apps
    
    First you will need to access that folder with NAS admin credentials using SMB. The .apps folder itself is also a hidden folder.
    
    Second, when you edit it, be careful to use an editor that preserves linux format conventions. Notepad++ does this, the Microsoft Notepad app does not. OSX systems (macs) use the same txt format convention as linux, so if you are using a mac, this is not an issue.
