How to adjust PHP settings/limits

You can edit the general server PHP configuration in two possible ways.

NOTE: If you have a fully managed VPS/Dedicated server, please contact our technicians for assistance with the configuration change.

1. A preferable and safe way is to use the WHM > PHP Configuration Editor menu:



Basic Mode allows editing only commonly changed parameters, so if you want to change some specific settings, switch to Advanced Mode instead.

Once you are done with the changes, click Save. You will then be redirected to the page where you can check the new global php.ini which is created as a result of your changes:



2. Alternatively, you can edit the php.ini file directly via SSH as a root user (only for self-managed VPS/Dedicated servers).

The global php.ini file is located in the /usr/local/lib/ folder. When connected via SSH run:

vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini

or

nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Once you made all the changes, save the file and restart the web server by running:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
