Server not listening to php.ini?

Question

linux

I looked at phpinfo where php.ini is, went in, downloaded it, changed max_execution_time from 300 to 1000, uploaded it back. I run a heavy script through the browser, after 5 minutes of 504 Gateway Time-out.
Why can't I understand for 5 minutes? 1000 seconds does that mean 16 minutes should it work? Where to dig to fix? Still look for other php.ini and change there?

Answer 1

max_execution_time is PHP's running time, and your nginx -> httpd link dries up due to timeout

Answer 2

What exactly, excuse me, the server? In any case, did you re-pin it after changing the config?

Answer 3

Try changing the timeouts in the opposite direction to make sure that you are changing what you need.
Usually there are several php.ini configs, for cli/fpm/apache etc, did you change exactly in the right one?

Answer 4

If php-fpm is used, then it is also necessary to restart the php-fpm service.
