php.ini changes, but not effective on Ubuntu

I want change the limit of PHP upload file's size

And this is some information of the output my phpinfo:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path    /etc/php5/apache2
Loaded Configuration File    /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

And this is the content of my php.ini file:

upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 50M
memory_limit = 128M

Then I restart Apache 2, but the phpinfo shown is still:

upload_max_filesize    2M

If you don't rename the php.ini file，use the cp php.ini-production php.ini, and then /etc/init.d/apache2 reload, else just reload or restart.

I suspect a lot of these problems are being experienced because FastCGI Process Manager (php-fpm) is now used by default on a lot of new Apache installations. After making the changes, you need to restart the fast CGI daemon, not httpd.

Here is how I solved this issue on Ubuntu after about three hours of debugging (PHP 7)

Steps

  1. Run phpinfo() function and observe where the loaded PHP configuration file (php.ini) is

    Enter image description here

  2. 'cd' into that directory and update it to the new values

  3. Reboot your server

  4. It works!

I have solved my question.

There is a syntax error in php.ini in line 109, so the next all syntax does not execute.

There is a good chance you didn't have permissions to modify the php.ini file. If you just browse to it via a normal folder window and click it Gedit (or whatever your default text editor is) won't be able to open it with write permissions.

You should be able to get away by sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (then your password at the prompt) and then changing the variables. Then be sure to write out (Ctrl + O) or make sure you confirm the save on exit.

I too had the same problem but then found that root permission is needed to edit php.ini file so just opened the terminal and wrote the following

gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and it perfectly worked!!

For anyone wondering why the php.ini modification is not applied even after all directives are fine and restarting the apache on ubuntu, try restarting apache with sudo

sudo service apache2 restart
