Max_input_vars not applying changes after I edit the correct php.ini file

Hi there,

I could suggest a couple of things:

• Try restarting Litespeed after you make the change
• Double check if this is the correct php.ini, you can do that by creating an info.php file with the following content:

<?php

phpinfo();

Then visit the file via your browser and search for php.ini.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Hi @akramsaid,

In cases like that, it’s always good to create an info.php file to make sure the loaded configuration is the proper php.ini you’ve edited. This can be created with the following code:

<?php 
phpinfo();
?>

The file itself should be created in the root directory of your Website.

Additionally, try restarting the litespeed service just in case once you change the values in your php.ini so that It can read them again/.

Hello,

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 - 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 check for the current value of max_input_vars you can also check which is the configuration file - php.ini that is currently used and apply the changes there (if the site using the global php.ini file and you change the values for these settings this will make the changes globally for all sites). Ideally you would like to have the following values:

max_input_vars = YOURVALUE

Note: Change YOURVALUE with the value you want to set, e.g 3000

You also need to restart your web server in order the changes to take effect.

Hope that this helps!
