php.ini Not accepting changes

[thinairnet]

I just wanted to add a posting explaining a recently problem I had. I upgrade my Plesk Server to a new RH FC4 machine with Plesk 8.1 on it. After upgrading to a new machine I was having a lot of the traditional problems with e-mail attachments. The problem was that Horde did not allow messages to be opened that were a certain size and it would not allow the users to send or receive attachments over 2MB. Of course we all of seen many many posting about increasing the values in the php.ini to allow larger attachments. I tried to change these values many many many times and I could never get the problem to go away. Finally I discovered a post that mentioned that they had to rename their original php.ini file to a new name (like php.ini.org) and then they created a copy of the original file and named the copy php.ini. Well I did this too and after I did this EVERYTHING worked. All of the changes I made to the php.ini file were finally accepted. When looking at the file permissions and ownership of the original file and the new file I can not see any difference. But when I put the original file back the problems return.

Long story short... try to create a brand new php.ini file if the changes you are making to the file do not appear to have any affect.

jonboy, were you able to fix your problem by renaming the original php.ini and the creating a new php.ini by copying the original?

Yes, the original posting was explaining the problem and the solution at the same time. If you change your php.ini file, then restart your apache and the changes you made do not take affect, then do this. Rename your php.ini to php.ini.original. Then make a copy of php.ini.original and name the copy php.ini. Check to make sure the permisions on the new php.ini are the same as the original one. Then restart your apache and see if the changes take affect.
