changing max_input_vars

Luca Ramella

New Pleskian
Hi,

i'm runnig plesk on IIS and i've the needing to change the "max_input_vars" value to a number greater than the default "1000".

i need it to be able to perform changes in the language files of a prestashop installation.

i've read more than one thread speaking about this, but in any case i'm not able to have this change effectively operating.

for example:

http://talk.plesk.com/threads/max_input_vars-and-php-ini-path.260443/

http://talk.plesk.com/threads/max_input_vars-and-php-ini-path.260443/

i've put the correct string (max_input_vars = 10000) in the "additional configuration directives", but nothing move from the value of "1000" in the administrator panel of prestashop

someone can help me?

Did you restart the IIS service after adding the additional directive? If you need to change the global directive then you'll need to log onto the server itself and edit the C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5x\php.ini from there (replace X with the right version of PHP) and restart IIS for the chances to take effect.
