Can't set php memory_limit

Virtualmin
1
SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version AlmaLinux 9.4
Webmin version webmin-2.202-1
Virtualmin version virtualmin-gpl-release-7.0-1
Webserver version httpd-2.4.57-11
PHP version php 8.3.11

if i add a .php file to my document root and put there only

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and open the url with my browser, it says among others:
PHP Version 8.3.11
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/opt/remi/php83
Loaded Configuration File /etc/opt/remi/php83/php.ini

On the memory_limit it says 128M on both local annd master value.

But on the mentioned .php file it says:

grep memory_limit /etc/opt/remi/php83/php.ini

memory_limit = 528M

I have enough memory (altho i have swap on)

How can i solve this? My php sites are not working due to the small memory limit.

I have tried searching for additional .user.ini files and .htaccess files, but there seems not to be any that i found
Also i have restarted the httpd service.

You don’t have to create a phpinfo file, this is available in the Virtual servers GUI

and resource limits can be server per server and globally.

editing in the gui will restart php server.

when using php-fpm with Virtualmin, the individual virtual servers each have their own CONF file, based upon the VM id number, and they are stored, in a REMI setting, in directories like

/etc/opt/remi/php81/php-fpm.d/
/etc/opt/remi/php82/php-fpm.d/
/etc/opt/remi/php83/php-fpm.d/

one of mine, /etc/opt/remi/php82/php-fpm.d/16947142083999789.conf contains the line

php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 512M

which can be managed/adjusted thru the Virtualmin panels. Of course if you are very brave, and very VERY careful, you can edit that file directly, but be warned that can be dangerous :smile:
