Webmin php.ini files for each virtual server are located in user’s etc directory. Path is in following format,

/home/AdminUser/etc/php7.0/php.ini

Change AdminUser to your domains admin user and open it with nano.

Hello, all

As per, jarland suggestion, you can create a PHP info file in order to check the current values and check which is the php.ini file in use. Create the following file in your public_hmtl folder of your site - phpinfo.php and put the following code inside it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

You can also use the following command in order to find the location of the php.ini file:

php -i | grep php.ini

The output will be:

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

Then you can put the values and flags you want.

You also need to restart your web server (Apache/Nginx) in order the changes to take effect.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
