upload_max_filesize unchangeable?

Hello!

I am running into problems changing upload_max_filesize on a Debian Squeeze Ispconfig3 installation (which works like a charm btw .
Normally this should be a rather trivial task, but as it turns out it is not:

I am running a website under FastCGI with SuExec.

In /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini I changed:
upload_max_filesize = 20M
memory_limit = 129M

(i made these changes to all php.ini's (mod_apache,cgi,cli) as well to make sure).

Nevertheless Apache remains unimpressed by my changes, all values still remain default (upload_max_filesize 2M, memory_limit 128M). # apache2ctl restart makes no difference.
Interestingly, however AllowOverride All is set properly, I cannot even override the values with ini_set(...) neither.

Now I am really running out of ideas. Has anybody any idea where I am missing the point?

Any idea/help is very appreciated!

 

did you restart apache if not then try that

i know with ubuntu there are 3 locations, and ubuntu is a spin off of Debian Squeeze so maybe its the same check the following and see all should be set the same

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini

 

Yes kwickcut, I did restart the apache. no effect. And I changed the value in all three php.ini's. No effect either.

But meanwhile I found other workarounds. They do not work on global scope but that's better than no scope at all

#1: pimping the starter script (in this case /home/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web2/.php-fcgi-starter ) so that it reads (mind the last line before $1)

Code:

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/var/www/conf/web2"
export PHPRC
PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT="/var/www/clients/client1/web2"
export PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT
# The variable PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN is onyl useful for lighty or nginx as apache
# mod_fcgi will control the number of childs themself and never use the additional processes.
# PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=8
# export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS
exec /usr/bin/php-cgi \
 -d open_basedir="/var/www/clients/client1/web2/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web2/tmp:/usr/share/php5:/tmp:/usr/share/typo3" \
-d upload_tmp_dir=/var/www/clients/client1/web2/tmp \
-d session.save_path=/var/www/clients/client1/web2/tmp \
-d upload_max_filesize=20M \
 $1

or, way more elegantly

#2: using .user.ini
by creating a file .user.ini in the web/ folder (should be found automatically) which contains

Code:

upload_max_filesize=20M

And that's just it. Hope it helps anyone.

 

Hello Till, thanks for your help.
I tried this in the first place. But setting something in the php.ini field does surely work if you use apache_mod.

But with FastCGI it seems there is no effect (at least in my installation).

 

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I had a question regarding this. Basically I have gone into ISPConfig->Sites->domain.com->Options and added the following to the "Custom php.ini settings" input:

upload_max_filesize=100M

I have checked the jobqueue to make sure the job was still not running. I have also restarted apache. But I'm still unable to upload anything over ~2MB.

One thing I'm wondering if it makes a difference, is I'm trying to do this on a subdomain that I have set up in ISP. Meaning, I'm applying these settings to the php.ini settings for domain.com, but want to make sure that in doing that it will apply to subdomain.domain.com as well?

EDIT: This will probably help out a little. Here is an excerpt from my error log...

mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 135568 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072)

 

Thanks for the link till!

This is what I ended up doing though that made it work:

It's the same concept, but easier for those who don't like manually editing conf files and prefer the GUI of ISPConfig.

I love ISPConfig so much!

 

But where can I change the upload_max_filesize from within IPSConfig 3.053? I can't find what you said.

 

ISPConfig->Sites->domain.com->Options
Custom php.ini settings field.
