Hi Folks and Happy New Year,

Im trying to install Nextcloud and wnat to set the memory limit for PHP to 512M.

First I tried to set “memory_limit = 512M” in /home/DOMAIN/etc/php8.3/php.ini.
Just to set the Limit only for this Domain.
But Nextcloud and ‘php -i | grep “memory_limit”’ where still not happy, only 128M.

So set Virtualmin → DOMAIN → Web Configuration → PHP-FPM Configuration → Resource Limits
to 512M. But “php -i” still reports only 128M.

Also setting Resource Limits /etc/php-fpm.conf didn’t help.
And yes I restarted the server.

EDIT:
Changing the value in /etc/php.ini works!
But shouldn’t /home/DOMAIN/etc/php8.3/php.ini overwrite that?

I take it after each ini edit you restarted the relevant service

since you mention php-fpm, I’m assuming that is the mode you are using :smile:

in my experience with php-fpm, individual settings for a domain go in /etc/opt/remi/php83/php-fpm.d/DOMAIN-ID.conf or /etc/php-fpm.d/DOMAIN-ID.conf if using the O/S php default.

and on the panel you mention –

Virtualmin → DOMAIN → Web Configuration → PHP-FPM Configuration → Resource Limits

at the top of the screen will be the CONF filename that Virtualmin is adjusting.

I forget – is /etc/php.ini used for any settings NOT in the above specific config files? Or those files somehow are not available/accessible?

oh oh OH — maybe the general settings for an optional/extra php version will come from a location such as /etc/opt/remi/php83/php.ini ??

See if you change memory to 196mb for testing purposes.
