Custom php.ini cron jobs don´t work

[joaosavioli]

Hi,

I´m trying to use a custom php.ini for cron jobs, but php ignore my php.ini and use global settings.
[email protected] [~]# /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php -c php.ini -i | grep memory_limit
memory_limit => 256M => 256M

[email protected] [~]# cat php.ini

allow_url_fopen = Off
allow_url_include = Off
asp_tags = Off
display_errors = Off
enable_dl = Off
file_uploads = On
max_execution_time = 90
max_input_time = -1
max_input_vars = 1000
memory_limit = 512M
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.save_path = "/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56"
upload_max_filesize = 10M
always_populate_raw_post_data = -1

I´ve tried to add in master php.ini (/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini) these lines bellow, but I can see effect only in http.

[PATH=/home/user]
memory_limit = 512M;

I´m using mod_suphp.

Could you help me?

Thank you.
João

Hi,

Try copying your php.ini to a .user.ini, or make the changes via the cPanel >> INI Editor UI. Doing so should write the .user.ini out and it should work after that. Please let me know how it goes!

Thank you for reply.

I've tried, but didn´t work.

Any idea?

Hello,

Would you mind opening a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look at the affected system?

Thank you.

Hello,

I´ve opened a suport ticket and the problem was fixed.
Here is the solution to help comunity:

"Hello,

Usually if you need to set a Custom php.ini it is better to not use MultiPHPini Editor in WHM because it will create a file that overrides PHP settings.

# /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.d/local.ini ( This file overrides custom php.ini files. )

I've moved this file out of the way for you to test the issue a bit further. Did you have a specific cron task that you were using where the issue was experienced? CLI PHP and CGI PHP can function differently sometimes. User accounts have a wrapper enabled which should auto determine their PHP version however if you call it from the full path to PHP it may result in something different occurring as well.

# /usr/local/bin/php ( wrapper )
# /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php ( full path to script )

Calling PHP with the wrapper should automatically find the correct PHP version for this account. Curious if you were only testing with calling PHP directly or if you were actually using the PHP wrapper which is called automatically when you use command "php".
