Configure Max_Input_time

[Philipp Müller]

Hello together,

we would like to set up Zabbix.

We got a Debian 10 (Buster), where an Idoit Service is installed.

So I set up Zabbix. But I get the Error (Minimum required limit on input parse time for PHP scripts is 300 (configuration option "max_input_time"). I can’t find out how to fix this.

Maybe you can give me some advice

Best Regards,
Phil

Somehow your screenshots are not displayed, everything black when I click one of them.
However, I imagine, you are searching for the php.ini - that is, where the max_input_time is found. Try using

locate php.ini

or

find / -name "php.ini"

You might have several php.ini around. The one in the apache2 folder most probably is the one relevant to you.

Hi,

i don´t know why they are not visible.

I have set it to 300. - But I have several php.ini on my server. Maybe you too and you checked the wrong one.

I also have a debian buster - and look how many php.ini:

/etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini.backup
/etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini
/usr/lib/php/7.3/php.ini-development
/usr/lib/php/7.3/php.ini-production
/usr/lib/php/7.3/php.ini-production.cli

In my case the first was the right one, but I compiled and installed zabbix server from the sources.

I searched and found 3 php.ini. I changed the value on all of them, but no change.

It must come from somewhere - maybe you could find the culprit with lsof or strace - to find potential files where it may come from.
Do you have a .htaccess file there within your apache or zabbix web? - There are rumours, that you can configure php settings there also (as you did it in your apache.conf).

How can i find out which Config-File Zabbix is using?
I just cant find out which config File I have to change.

You could create a php file on your zabbix web interface location with the following content:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and then got to that page - it should print out your php settings including the location from where it took the php.ini.
