[Administrator]

If you are using UBUNTU os, along with php 7.4 version this might help you for sure.

sudo service php7.4-fpm restart

If you are planning to make changes to your PHP.INI file using shell access.

Here is some steps you can follow .

paste this in your shell window php --ini

It will load up bunch of .ini configuration file location, but you should look for the Loaded Configuration File

Now go edit your .ini file using NANO or VI text editor.

Then hit the restart php fm using sudo service php7.4-fpm restart

Now check your phpinfo page to make sure the changes you made do appear in the page?. IF NOT, worry not, just follow below steps.

sudo service php7.4-fpm status this will show you the status of your FPM and give you the location of fpm sock and config file. That will look something like this /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Now edit the /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf file using NANO or VI or VIM.

Go to right at the bottom of the file do the changes php_admin_value[upload_max_filesize] = 5M

This upload max file size will update the php fpm configuration and will allow you to upload large file which is more than 2MB.

So do follow other limitation like php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 32M
