just starting to tinker with having multiple versions of php – using the REMI repo on my RedHat servers to accomplish this.
When I set custom values on the VirtualMin – <choose a server/domain> – Services – PHP-FPM Configuration – then display the Resource Limits panel, you can set five items
max memory
max file upload size
max input parsing time
max POST size
max execution time
and once I click SAVE, they end up in the xxxx.conf file as expected
Then I go to Server Configuration – PHP Options – where I can choose (on my test server) either php 7.3 or php 8.0. But by changing versions, all of those five custom values above are lost !!
Am I doing something wrong?
If this is the expected behavior, how can I submit a feature request to have these values migrate from one php version to another ? Does that even make sense?
PHP stores version specific settings, so switching to a different version will not preserve or copy settings for a different version when using PHP-FPM. This is the expected behavior.
I was hoping this sounded like a great Feature Request … bummer.
I suppose others might weigh in over the next week or two
As you can guess, having those five basic settings carry over, especially with no warning on the other panel when you do change versions, would make it much nicer and user friendly when switching versions.
It would be wonderful if Virtualmin could intelligently transfer php-fpm custom values when a verson change in applied. Or at atleast issue a warning or an alert that there exist custom values which will not be carried forward if a version change in php-fpm is applied.
