php ini setting upload_max_filesize not working

Question

I need to change upload limit to 2GB on php 7.2 Ubuntu 16.04.

As a first step, when I check /etc/php/7.2 folder I can see cli and fpm folders.

So to make sure the ini location I have print the php info using

 echo phpinfo()

And I got the output

Server API                         :   FPM/FastCGI
Virtual Directory Support          :   disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path  :   /etc/php/7.2/fpm
Loaded Configuration File          :   /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini 

And I have edited /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini with

upload_max_filesize = 2048M

And restarted the apache but using phpinfo() still it print

  upload_max_filesize   2M

So I have tried with command php -i | grep -i "loaded configuration file" but it print different configuration file,

 Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini

On this file also I have changed upload_max_filesize to 2048 and restarted the Apache and still the result is same.

What could be the problem, any help will appreciated.

Answer 1

I got the problem resolved by the answer here Changes to upload_max_filesize in Ubuntu php.ini will not take effect.

Instead of restarting the apache I have to restart the php using

sudo service php7.2-fpm restart
