Question Plesk 18.0.70 Bypass the default PHP performance settings

[Tiria]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.69 #3

I see that line in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 changelog:

It is no longer possible to bypass the default PHP performance settings in PHP-FPM handlers using the .user.ini settings file or the PHP ini_set() command.

Does this mean I can't increase memory_limit for some script ?
I use ini_set to increase memory_limit and timeout on cron scripts that needs more memory and time to execute properly.
I dont want to increase memory limit and timeout of whole website because of my crons.

I dont have updated yet, is there a way to disable this limitation ?

Hello, @Tiria . Previously, it was possible to bypass the set limits for PHP performance settings through the .user.ini even though "Hosting performance settings management (Allows to adjust performance settings: Per-site PHP performance settings.)" was disabled. With the release, users should no longer be able to override the limits.

You can disable the feature by adding the following lines to the panel.ini file:
[PHP] settings.useAdminValuesForPerformanceSettings = false

@Tiria, If I am not mistaken the new bypass restriction is only applied/enforced when the "Hosting performance settings management" permission has been disabled in a service plan. When this service plan permission is enabled, a customer still has full control over the PHP performance settings of a domain, including any custom configuration set in a user.ini file or at run-time via ini_set(). @Sebahat.hadzhi can you confirm if I am correct?

So there is no need to change anything if the service plan of your domain has the "Hosting performance settings management" permission option enabled.

Thanks for the replies, I didn't remember this setting.
I'll test this on some environment to check how it works.

As we use service plan as a base to personnalize each subscription, I think the "hosting performance settings management" option is disabled and locked most of the time.
But as we never let our clients accessing plesk or even their php files, I think we will just disable this feature.

Yes, this is in reference to the "Hosting performance settings management" permission only.
