Joomla 3.2 Increase the upload_max_filesiz

I am trying to download this template on Joomla 3.2 extension manger : http://scriptmafia.org/templates/115622-yt-moustache-yootheme-for-joomla-25-32.html but every time I upload it, it gives me this error:

There was an error uploading this file to the server.

I have read articles about "increase the upload max size in the php.ini file". I have tried to find this file in the administrator files section in Joomla, but it is "not found".

So how can I fix this problem? It has not happened for this template only, it has happened for several. So I am almost sure it is due to the upload size.

Edit your php.ini and increase *upload_max_filesize* and *post_max_size*; then restart your web server.

If you don't know where is your php.ini, create a php file to discover: echo php_ini_loaded_file();

The returned path is where your php.ini is located.

EDIT

Well, seems like you have a permission error and not size limit. Try to change permissions of the temp Joomla folder (you can see/configure it on Global Configuration > System).
