OK, let's start at the beginning. You said you have a stock Ubuntu
installation, so /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini would be the correct
configuration file. However, what about other configuration files being
parsed? They will be done after the php.ini file. Any one of them
could override it.
As to whether you can use .htaccess or not depends Apache options. The
default for Ubuntu is to not allow overrides from .htaccess, which is
why it didn't work (see the AllowOverrides Apache command).
I installed Apache and PHP on a test Ubuntu system I have here, and made
the following changes to the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file
post_max_size=16M
upload_max_filesize=8M
and restarted Apache. The changes were reflected in the phpinfo() page,
so it does work. Please check your changes again. Exactly what did you
enter in the file?
BTW, standard Ubuntu and Debian operation is to NOT change the default
configuration files. Rather, you add the parameters you want to a new
file in a directory reserved for it - in this case,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d. That way when you update a package, your
customized changes don't get lost. Placing these same changes in
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/zzzmyconfig.ini also worked.

That's just "Pointed Head". He has his own rules for usenet, and thinks
the rest of the world should follow them.
