php.ini upload_max_filesize not updating

Question

I'm running CentOS 6.4. I've made changed to my php.ini file in the /etc folder. I have changed the upload_max_filesize from 2M to 50M so it reads:

upload_max_filesize = 50M

I've also changed the post_max_size to 52M so it reads:

post_max_size = 52M

Now I have restarted Apache using both the service httpd restart command and the /sbin/service command but when I go into my root html directory in /var/www/html and open my test phpinfo() file the values for upload_max_filesize and post_max_filesize are still the default 2M and 8M values respectively.

Have I missed something?

Answer 1

I had to do this.

service php-fpm restart

Answer 2

The latest php versions doesn't allow direct php.ini changes.

1. Look for "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" directory in your phpinfo() output and create whatever-file-name.ini in this location.

2. Put your custom variables in it.

3. Restart the webserver.

Answer 3

check the loading configuration file (php.ini) from the o/p of phpinfo(). Make sure that you have made changes in the right configuration file (php.ini file)
