Some applications need PHP settings adjusted, such as more memory or a larger upload size. cPanel’s MultiPHP INI Editor makes this easy without editing files by hand. This guide explains how.
Common settings you might change #
- memory_limit: memory available to scripts.
- upload_max_filesize and post_max_size: maximum upload size.
- max_execution_time: how long a script may run.
- max_input_vars: helpful for large forms and complex themes.
Editing settings #
- Log in to cPanel.
- In the Software section, open MultiPHP INI Editor.
- Choose the domain in Basic Mode.
- Adjust the values you need.
- Click Apply.
Basic vs Editor mode #
Basic Mode exposes the most common settings with simple fields. Editor Mode lets advanced users add or change directives directly. Most people only need Basic Mode.
Verifying your changes #
Create a PHP info page or check your application’s system report to confirm the new values are active. Clear caching if a change does not appear.
Troubleshooting #
- Change not applied: confirm you selected the correct domain and PHP version.
- Site errors: revert the value, which may be too high or unsupported.
