Why changes in php.ini don't change the value in phpinfo?

Question

linux

There is a cloud server in Scaleway with Ubuntu 20.04, nginx and php-fpm 7.2. I installed wordpress and a blog theme on it. In the theme settings, it gives a warning about the small value of max_input_vars.



The phpinfo function shows that the php.ini file is located in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini



Edit the php.in file



and change the value of max_input_vars = 5000



save the file and restart the web server systemctl restart nginx (I also tried restarting the server) and nothing changes. Phpinfo shows that the max_input_vars size is 1000



and also a warning in the theme settings. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

because you are restarting the web server and you need to - PHP

Answer 2

Separate parameters from php.ini can still be set in the FPM pool config (in Ubuntu in the /etc/php/7.4/fpm folder plus the conf.d/ directory in it), in the Apache and .htaccess configs (not relevant for you), and in WordPress itself (wp-config.php - in the form of ini_set). Search with grep.

Answer 3

php-fpm is not restarted or the rule is specified in the php-fpm pool.

Answer 4

Assumption. In addition to the global php configuration file, there are also configuration files for each virtual host, which is specified in the settings of this virt. host. And as far as I understand, it is a priority.

Answer 5

sudo service php7.2-fpm restart
