php.ini modified, but unable to upload file

Question

I need to upload a file larger than 2MB. I have read this post

So I have modified the two lines on php.ini in this way:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 500M

; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 500M

Then I have restarted apache In truth, the correct name of the file that I have modified is php.ini.default in folder /etc/, but I think that the file is correct: in fact if i go on localhost/index.php to show php info, I see:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path:  /etc

However if in terminal; I digit

php -i

I get this:

upload_max_filesize => 2M => 2M
post_max_size => 8M => 8M

It seems like the php.ini file is not been saved, in fact I'm able to upload <=2M but not larger

(sorry for my english )

have you restarted the server? and if yes check `phpinfo()` and check php.ini location in phpinfo for exact php.ini — Rahul, Sep 19 '19 at 11:14
@rahul sorry, I forgot to specify this. Hower yes, in in terminal I have digit `sudo apchectl restart` — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 11:16
@gulshan yes, I have restarted apache and yes, i'm working on localhost — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 11:17
`php -i | grep 'Loaded Configuration File'` - did you check this? Because `php.ini.default` seems to be the wrong file. — Tox, Sep 19 '19 at 11:17
maximum post size and set time out as well ... best way to find where you config is changed or not .. go to phpMyadmin and click on import .. after chose file there is the maximum limit for file upload — Masih Ansari, Sep 19 '19 at 11:18
@Tox I checked and I get `Loaded Configuration File => (none)` . Maybe is this my error? — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 11:22
That seems odd, it should have some configuration loaded. You are on Linux, right? Is it your local machine or a remote server? — Tox, Sep 19 '19 at 11:23
@Rahul i've already checked the location of file. It's in **/etc** directory. If I search `/etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini` I don't find anything — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 12:35
@Andra if u refer to rename **php.ini.defualt** in **php.ini** I've already tried — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 12:37
@Tox I'm on localhost on a osx. if it can be of help, have followed this guide to install amps [link](https://medium.com/better-programming/install-apache-mysql-php-macos-mojave-10-14-b6b5c00b7de) — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 12:42
Did you try searching your `/etc/` directory for a `php.ini`? Because the path given by Rahul is for the CLI version of PHP 7.4 (which is not released as final yet, so most likely you have a lower version). — Tox, Sep 19 '19 at 13:18
@Tox I have searched `/etc/` for a `php.ini`. In fact here is a `php.ini.default`. Also if I do `phpinfo()` in see this `Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc`. For this, I think that the file is correct. On terminal if I digiti `php --ini`, I get `Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc Loaded Configuration File: (none) Scan for additional .ini files in: (none) Additional .ini files parsed: (none)`. During the configuration of AMP, I have modified the http.conf file, in particular this line `LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so` — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 13:29
But renaming the `php.ini.default` to `php.ini` and then restarting `apache2` does not help? I don't know how your setup exactly works, I usually work with **nginx** and **PHP FPM** - in that setup I have to restart **PHP FPM** as well. A simple test could be to reboot your system, that will ensure everything is reloaded. If it works after the reboot, then there is another service that needs to be rebooted for the changes to become active. — Tox, Sep 19 '19 at 13:36
@Tox finally it's work! simply I had to rename the `php.ini.defualt` in `php.ini`. Now if I do `php --ini`, I have `Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php.ini` I already have done that when I answered @Andra, but probably I'm so stupid because I'm unable to rename a file — Lx2pwn, Sep 19 '19 at 14:25
