AWS is one of the best cloud hosting providers on the Internet. But it’s very challenging to configure something on their server as well. Here is our simple guide to change or update any PHP configuration values in AWS EC2 Ubuntu Server.
Step#1 Find your php.ini file.
Connect your Ubuntu Server AWS EC2 Instance and find the php.ini file.
The php.ini file is mostly found in the following location.
/etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
Generally, you can find the file here. If you can’t find the above directories, simply type the following command and you can find the exact location of php.ini in AWS.
php --ini
Step#2 Change the Values
You can now change the values in your php.ini value in the AWS server with VIM Editor.
sudo vim php.ini
It will open a file editor. You can edit the values of your PHP configuration file and save the file with :wq command.
Step#3 Restart the Apache Server
Now we restart the Apache server to reflect our changes.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
It will throw a message like ‘Restarting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.service
Now we changed the variable successfully in php.ini file in AWS.
Looking forward to your comments.
