Hello,

While installing cmsms I got a message that three values are not meeting the required value:

upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
max_execution_time

I created a php.ini with the appropriate values

upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M
max_execution_time = 60

and ran phpinfo() This script was telling these values where set. Than I looked at CMSMS SI:

----------------------------------------------

Here you can see other values. After a chat with the provider, I came to know that these are the values set for the whole server.

So what next? I searched the forum and found a post telling to put the php.ini into the admin-folder. Did so and ran SI again. Values are set according to php.ini However, Imagemanager was showing a logon screen and no thumbs where created when using Album. This used to work before moving php.ini to the admin-folder.

Before I figured out what was wrong, a lot of time was spent, also by one of the people from the Dutch forum. This was a quite frustrating process.

What I don't understand, is why SI does not take the values from php.ini when the file is in the root and phpinfo() does show the set values. Second, what makes Imagemanger showing the logon screen when php.ini is in the admin-folder?

Hope some of the system engineers are willing to help me on this one.

Hello Gregor,

You can also add the following lines in the config.php to change the values:

Code: Select all

ini_set("memory_limit", "120M");
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60);

And also check this:

Code: Select all

#---------------
#Upload Settings
#---------------

#Maxium upload size (in bytes)?
$config['max_upload_size'] = 50000000;

Did it just give warnings, mine always do during install, I just keep going and everything works fine, did you try it w/o that php file in there?...

Posted: **Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:21 am**

@Rolf I'll give that try as soon as I'm behind my Mac.

@Dr.CSS IT only gives warnings. I did not try an install while php.ini is in the admin folder. I did test SI with php.ini in different folders. But where does SI gets its information from?

Hello Rolf,

Just tried the above two setting by adding them to the config.php, however the valus shown by SI remain the same $:-\$

You better talk with your host then.
He has probably set some values, which can't be overruled by the user.

Thanks for your reply Rolf.

I did have a chat with my provider. The provider has, what he called, a server wide php-setting installed. He gave me a copy of the file to edit and put in the root of the site. I set the values based on the required cmsms setting. However, this does not effect the setting using SI. If I look with phpinfo() than I see the adjusted values. This I cannot explain, other than getting to the conclusion that SI is 'seeing' different settings, unless php.ini is put in the admin-folder. Confusing.....

Grtz, Gregor

In the .htaccess and in the config.php aren't other values set?
If you are able to change all values with your own php.ini file, you better remove all other options to change it...

Nope, checked it and the values are set once. Situation remains the same.

"If you are able to change all values with your own php.ini file, you better remove all other options to change it..."
Good suggestion, will do so.

With some php environments, the following has to be added to the .htaccess file to make custom php.ini settings applied in sub directories.

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/your-username/public_html

I don't know why that works but it did for a couple hosts I worked with.

Thanks for your tips. Meanwhile the host changed settings so I was finally able to make the settings needed.
