    The php.ini file gets rewritten during upgrades/etc..

    Change settings in the panel.

    update is not the problem and settings in the pannel does not have the PHP Max Input Vars: settings

    or am i missing something ?

    Ah ja, just noticed that ... sorry.

    You need to restart php, not the apache and so on.

    The php files should be located in /etc/php/version-of-php/ . If you use fpm, its in the fpm folder.

    Have a nice day. :)

    php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

    Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php/7.1/cli/php.ini



    so i guess i have to edit that file and then use

    service php7.1 restart


    is that correct ?


    here is what i did

    edit that file with this

    ; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted

    max_input_vars = 4000


    then command

    /etc/init.d/php7.1-fpm restart


    looked at my site and its still vars on 1000 :blush:

    Please think a bit more.... Here you're talking about the php.ini file of the CLI SAPI which isn't FPM SAPI... You need to change the one for the FPM SAPI (assuming that you're using FPM to run your sites...).... And anyway, if you do so, you should edit the pool configuration file, not the php.ini file ;)

    thnx man i knew i was doing something wrong so i need to search for the pool file?

    and what do i need to put into it ?


    i just want to get the vars valeu up and working on that for 2 days now

    wt nx mr lr snl

    so i guess there is no simple solution for increasing the max_vars to 4000 ?

    like edit a file or something and restart/reboot

    the whole web is talking about user.ini, php.ini and/or htaccess

    so that kind a is misleading then ?
