How install PHP in Ubuntu Nginx?
Where do I find PHP ini file?

Hello, I need to increase the PHP Max. Input Vars and PHP Max. Input Time to install a theme in wordpress.

I’m using nginx on ubuntu 18.04 with easyengine commands. The php version is 7.2 and the path for php.ini is etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini

In putty used sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini and after change max_imput_vars and max_imput_time restarted nginx with sudo service nginx restart

Can someone help here? I’ve seen others with fpm instead of cli paths. I’m a noob and I’m stuck. Thanks.

phpinfo says the file location is /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini.

Additional .ini files parsed

   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/curl.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/gd.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/mcrypt.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/mysql.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/mysqli.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/pdo.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini,
   /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/xcache.ini

Looking in them none of them have anything that deals with post_max_filesize or upload_max_filesize.

I edit this in the php.ini file and restart both the nginx and php5-fpm service. The changes do not happen. The files are still edited. I have tried rebooting the computer.

Does NGINX cache this somewhere that I need to delete in order for these changes to be made live?

I have tried php -i | grep ".ini"

and it tells me the path for php.ini is Path => /etc/php5/cli/

The phpinfo() tells me its /etc/php5/fpm/

I have edited both with no luck.

if I do php -i | grep "post_max" it tells me its 20M, phpinfo still says 8M.

As there are multiple versions of PHP with different sever configurations, php.ini could be located in several different folders.

Method 1

One way to find out exactly which php.ini file your web sever is using is by creating a new PHP file in document root called info.php.

info.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Load this file in your browser, press CTRL + F (or Command + F on Mac) and search for “Loaded Configuration File”. You should see something like

/etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

This will tell you the exact location of the php.ini file you want to edit.

Method 2

In Linux, run this command to locate the PHP.ini configuration file.

php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

Or in Windows Command Line:

php -i | findstr /c:"Loaded Configuration File"

The result should be something like this:

Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini

In the above example, we can see that the PHP install is located in /etc/php/8.1. Note that there are three different configuration files you should we aware of:

CLI

/etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini is for the CLI PHP program. Changes to this config file will only affect PHP as it runs in the terminal – it will NOT affect the web server.

Apache

/etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini is for the PHP plugin used by Apache. This is the one you need to edit if you are using the Apache web server.

Nginx or Apache with PHP-FPM

/etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini is a fastcgi-compatible ‘wrapper’ for PHP processing. This is the one you need to edit if you’re using the Nginx web server or Apache with PHP-FPM.

Method 3

Using the locate command in Linux,. If it’s not already installed, run sudo apt update && sudo apt install mlocate.

You should see a list of php.ini files here. Try editing one of them and restarting you web server to see if makes the required changes.

Editing php.ini in Linux

Apache

On Apache, php.ini is usually located in /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini. Replace 8.1 with your own version, e.g, php5.6, php7.4, etc.

To edit:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

However, if you are using PHP FPM, it may be located in /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini. Replace 8.1 with your own version, e.g, php5.6, php7.4, etc.

To edit:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini

To save file and exit, press CTRL + X, press Y and then press ENTER

You must restart Apache after altering php.ini.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

If you are using PHP-FPM, you must restart that service. Replace php8.1 with your own version, e.g, php5.6, php7.4, etc.

sudo service php8.1-fpm restart

Nginx or Apache with PHP-FPM

Nginx uses PHP FPM and <code>php.ini</code>&nbsp;is usually located in&nbsp;<code>/etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini</code>.&nbsp;Replace&nbsp;<code>8.1</code>&nbsp;with your own version, e.g,&nbsp;<code>php5.6</code>,&nbsp;<code>php7.4</code>, etc.</p><div class="code-wrap"><pre id="supercoder-block_629f3eb9c73bc" class="code language-bash"><code class="language-bash">sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini</code></pre><div class="btn-copy-wrapper"><button class="btn-copy" title="Copy"></button></div></div><p>Save and exit (press <code>CTRL</code> + <code>X</code>, press <code>Y</code> and then press <code>ENTER</code>)</p><p>You must restart Nginx after altering&nbsp;<code>php.ini</code>.</p><div class="code-wrap"><pre id="supercoder-block_629f3ed8c73bd" class="code language-bash"><code class="language-bash">sudo systemctl reload nginx</code></pre><div class="btn-copy-wrapper"><button class="btn-copy" title="Copy"></button></div></div><a class="anchor" id="id-older-versions"></a><h2>Older Versions</h2><p>For versions of Ubuntu <em>lower</em> than 16.04, <code>/etc/php/5.6/</code>,<code>/etc/php/7.0/</code>,<code>/etc/php/7.1/</code>, and so on, are replaced by <code>/etc/php5/</code> and so on.
