How to Refresh PHP Server

Hello,

How do I refresh my server? I updated our php.ini file for PHP version 8.0 but the changes don’t seem to be showing properly. What do I need to do to get the changes to show up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @d8ce18629910-41ba-a430-d7058a,

You need to restart your Apache or Nginx server for the changes to take effect. That is related to updating any PHP server-wide settings. If you however updated a php.ini for a separate website/app that everything should load with any need of a reload/restart.

Additionally, if you have php-fpm, you might need to restart that as well!

Here is what I use with debian server, apache, and fpm php:

# Restart all fpm php and reload apache:
#*******
{
FileList=$(/bin/ls -1 /etc/php/*/*/php.ini)
for FILE in `echo "$FileList"`;
do

if echo "$FILE" | grep --quiet "fpm"; then
echo "$FILE"
phpversion=$(echo "$FILE" | awk -F/ '{print $4;}' )
phpreload=$(echo "php""$phpversion""-fpm")
echo "systemctl restart $phpreload"
echo
systemctl restart "$phpreload"
fi

done
systemctl reload apache2
}

What setup do you have?
