php.ini location?

aussielunix · Dec 19, 2016

I have error Fatal error: Allowed memory size...and following guides to fix this but I need to change memory_limit = 512M or higher in php.ini, but I don't know where is the location of my php.ini on my server? I am using cPanel.

In your Putty, login as root account and running this command

php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

It should show you somethings like this

Code:

[root@yourvps ~]# php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

And /usr/local/lib/ is the path where you can find out your php.ini file.

Hope that helped!

public_html/php.ini should be, do you have access to the WHM or is it like shared hosting cPanel?

If this is just for a cpanel account you can create it in your public_html directory. Just create a new file php.ini then edit it with the line memory_limit = 512M and save it. That should do the trick.

Which service are you using? Web/Reseller or your own VPS/Dedicated server? If the former then you may not be able to override the hosts' fixed values, if the latter and you're using cPanel then you can quickly update the setting using PHP Configuration Editor where the location is different depending on whether using EasyApache 3 or EasyApache 4.

I don't see php.ini file in my public_html, I can access WHM.

I can edit values in php.ini via WHM? It's more convenient than using terminal or ssh.

php.ini should be located in root directory.

If you have access to .htaccess file, you can increase memory by adding following lines in it..

php_value upload_max_filesize 1000M
php_value post_max_size 2000M
php_value memory_limit 3000M
php_value max_execution_time 180
php_value max_input_time 180

Feel free to play around with sizes.

You can also use

locate filename.extension

locate php.ini

Which will show the php.ini location,This command can be used to find other files too !

Hello,
Put php.info file in your root document and then run your https://YOUR_SERVER_IP/info.php
It will show the page where you can find desired php.ini path.

Hello,

This depends on your hosting environments, shared clients should be able to modify it via CPanel from the php zone editor feature if provided. Although are unlikely to have direct access, the same applies for shared resellers.

However, the ability to change the php.ini files is completely up to your hosting provider, especially on a shared hosting services.

Did I satisfactorily answer your question? Don't forgot to leave me a thumbs up or 'thanks'

If I didn't please send me a message, so we can discuss any issues with my answer. If there's any additional questions, feel free to ask them in the thread, quoting me if necessary.

Best Regards,

in cpanel, php.ini is located in /usr/local/lib/php.ini but it better you check with below command to find the loader php.ini

=======
$ php -i | grep php.ini
=======

you wont be able to edit this file or run the above command if you do not have root access to the server. If you have cpanel account access only, please use .htaccess to increase the memory limit. Which is also can restrict by the hosting provider. It would be better to open ticket to your hosting provider if .htaccess wont help.
