If I make a change to a setting in the php.ini file - do I need to restart Apache in order for it to take effect?
No, you will not need to restart Apache. You will need to "hard refresh" your web page to see the changes. Simply go to your site and load the page that should be affected. Hit Ctrl + F5 to refresh everything (some computers require the F Lock to be on before you can use F5).
The php. ini file is the default configuration file for running applications that require PHP. It is used to control variables such as upload sizes, file timeouts, and resource limits. php.
Depends, actually. Depends on how you use php inside that webserver:
On Debian 8 I had to restart PHP-FPM (and Apache) The above answers are correct, but here are the commands so you won't have to googling them.
Restart Apache :
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restart php5-fpm :
sudo service php5-fpm restart
That depends on the SAPI you're using. If you're using PHP as an Apache module for example, you need to restart apache so that the php.ini
values take effect.
If you're using FCGI, you need to restart the FCGI daemon for the PHP script that you want to see the values changed. Compare with
upload_max_filesize
on nginxIt depends on what OS and version you are running.
I am running Apache/2.4.29 under Ubuntu.
PHP Version 7.2.24.
I restart apache with the following command and the restart is needed after modifying the php.ini file:
sudo service apache2 restart
