magento 2 not using localphp.ini

[Umair]

hi

i've installed magento 2 using php verision PHP 7.0.30

the cron is set as follows

/usr/local/php70/bin/php-cli /home/hijabgem/public_html/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /home/hijabgem/public_html/var/log/setup.cron.log     

memory limit is 1024m

by mistake before it was set to

/usr/local/php71/bin/php-cli /home/hijabgem/public_html/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /home/hijabgem/public_html/var/log/setup.cron.log

memory limit read 512m

both of these values are regardless of whats written in the local php.ini

i think these memory limit values are coming from the global php.ini, which are server defaults

is there a way to make magento look at the local php ini instead

Hi @Umair

Well its totally depends on the server configuration !!

You have created local php.ini file that is correct , but if server declined to use that local php.ini file then there is no option at magento 2 application level to get the values from this local php.ini file.

so its totally depends on the server configuration , kindly request them or raise a ticket on them to allowed you either use of local php.ini  file or increase the memory in global php.ini file !!

they said that the system is using the local php.ini file, but for some reason magento is not, our cloud hosting plan allows us to make the neccessary changes we need to

but magento readiness check is reading 1024m

I'm just confused to why

by mistake before i set the cron to

/usr/local/php71/bin/php-cli /home/hijabgem/public_html/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /home/hijabgem/public_html/var/log/setup.cron.log

the memory limit read 512m or omething

when i changed it to

/usr/local/php70/bin/php-cli /home/hijabgem/public_html/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /home/hijabgem/public_html/var/log/setup.cron.log

it read 1024m after a minute or so

very confusing!

Hi @Umair

okay i understand - i have seen your info.php - in local parameter memory_limit is still 756 MB

So you need to change its value to 2048M

Also can you please check what is there in your .htaccess file in root folder of magento 2 ?

in .htaccess file there should be a parameter like below : 

php_value memory_limit 768M
php_value max_execution_time 18000 

So please check and confirm what its value or change it from there and then check its showing or not !!

I have checked now value is updated to 2048M - is it works ?

[Umair]

after changing the .htacess value to 2048M

the local php value in info php has changed to 2048M and master value is 2048M

but magento is still reading 1024M

Hi @Umair

How you identify magento 2 is reading 1024M ? - i am bit confused over here , if you changed memory and its showing 2048M in phpinfo - then magento 2 also takes the same memory !!

Moving ahead give you one more hint that might help you - in .htaccess file there should be a two option for php5 and php7 so check on both places you have changed or not !

Hi @Umair

okay , so what exactly shows when you click on web setup wizard ?

I think we have done all the possible ways at magento 2 side something is still missing at server side , you need to check at server level !!

Hope it helps !!
