PHP Settings Check magento 2 error

[scottpjshaw]

I was trying to do a local install of Magento 2.1 using XAMPP but was getting the same error message. This solution worked for me! A massive thank you!!

I've tried every possible solution listed here (and other "solutions" found online) and I still get the error.  Been working on this for 3 days now.  While I'm no programmer, I have been building sites for 15 years so this is driving me nuts!

PHP Settings Check *

Your PHP Version is 5.6.27, but always_populate_raw_post_data = 0. $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated from PHP 5.6 onwards and will be removed in PHP 7.0. This will stop the installer from running. Please open your php.ini file and set always_populate_raw_post_data to -1. If you need more help please call your hosting provider.

FWIW, my root  php.ini was fine, but I changed a php.ini file @ /usr/lib/php.ini and that solved my problem.

Hi there, 

Still got confused....
How to find out php.ini on the hosting ?
I am using Godaddy Hosting and don't know how to find out where php.ini is......

Thank you.

I had the same issue I was searching around for days with everyone saying add this here add this there. PHP info page shows that the flag is indeed set to "-1" but the readiness check tool claims otherwise...

My fellow system admin is a marvel. Smarted guy I know. According to him:

always_populate_raw_post_data is a per directory setting.

Place a php.ini file in the magento/setup folder with the setting.

always_populate_raw_post_data = -1

The installer will now detect the flag and pass!

Thank you Ron Miller of Eaglezip!

Hi There,

Thanks for your help.

I resolved this problem by adding

always_populate_raw_post_data = -1

into

.user.ini

Thanks again.

Hi, i have done after 4 hours wasting time.

If you got nothing happen after changing that file, please take care about what file location have you edited. Because /etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini seems similar location.

I edited /etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini and then solved.
