Bear in mind, I am no sysadmin, I am just a developer. I cannot find anyone with the exact problem as me, just similar, and none of their “fixes” seem to work.

I am currently running an Amazon EC2 instance running.

CentOS 6.2
Nginx 1.2.2
PHP 5.3.16 with APC
Percona 5.5.24 // not currently using this as I am using an RDS

I have set my php.ini (/etc/php.ini) settings to the following

upload_max_filesize=10M
post_max_filesize=20M

After reloading the config, using php -i via ssh, these settings seemed to be loaded. Showing upload_max_filesize=10M, etc.

When using phpinfo() or ini_get, both options are returned as 4M

phpinfo() indicates that the file I am editing is the one loaded (/etc/php.ini).

I have also run php -i | grep "\.ini" to check which files are loaded, and there are no unnecessary loaded configs. I even went through each loaded file individually to check they didn’t have the settings inside.

Additionally, I have been suggested to try using a .user.ini config file. This did not change the values either.

ini_set() does not work either.

I’m at a bit of a loss.

EDIT: not sure this will help, but I am using this AMI http://megumi-cloud.com/

    I got in contact with the guys who made the AMI and found out there are additional configuration files that override the php.ini

    There are 2 files which hold settings

    /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf // This is the file which holds upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, among others
/etc/php-fpm.conf

    Obviously the locations may differ on different configurations, but hopefully this will help give someone an idea of what else to look for.
