Trouble saving and closing on my digital ocean console
So I’m trying to increase the max file size on my wordpress site and I’ve opened: “/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini” and made the needed changes but now when I try to save and exit (control x) it just says “recording” at the bottom of the console window.
I’ve never had this issue before and no matter what I do I am unable to get out of that editing screen. I don’t want to do a hard reboot or anything because I’m not sure if it will save my changes. Can anyone advise me on what to do?

Which text editor are you using to edit your php.ini file?
Thank you for responding to my question.
I’m fairly new to the whole development side of things so I hope I answer your question correctly. Right now I’m using the digital ocean console for all of my editing. If that’s not what you’re inquiring about, I apologize. Like I said, I’m really new to this side of things.
I managed to increase the max file size by typing in the command: sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Then once I found “uploadmaxfilesize” I replaced the “2M” with the following lines:
uploadmaxfilesize = 100M
postmaxsize = 100M
maxexecutiontime = 300
then restated the Apache 2 server.
It worked, but I never did that before and I’m not sure if that is the best way to accomplish what I want. Or is how I did it okay?
Which editor are you using? vi?
