Bug Shoutbox ACP option not changing

[wolfbd]

Just updated DBT mod recently. Not sure what was changed in database. Now I cannot change the options in ACP. e.g. when trying to enable this option - "Yes" or "No". previously it was set to "No" but now I am trying to make it "Yes". No luck.
Any advise helpful.

Are you talking about the vBulletin Options panel, or the Instance Management area?

If you're running PHP 5.3.9 or higher, try setting max_input_vars to 10000 or higher.

My php version is 5.3.23, so there is no max_input_vars in php.ini

5.3.29 is newer than 5.3.9

Hahahaha Sorry! Was not so attentive to it. By the way, In php.ini we have only max_input_limits.
Advise please.

If you check your View PHP Info page in your AdminCP you should see the max_input_vars there. If you do, then you can proceed to add

max_input_vars = 10000

to your php.ini file.

That page will also tell you the correct php.ini file to edit to be sure you're editing the right one.

I have tried below path as found in acp/phpinfo

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

Very unfortunately the max_input_vars is missing in that file. Is there any other way we can add or tweak the value?
Again as per php.net they noted it as warning.

How many input variables may be accepted (limit is applied to $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE superglobal separately). Use of this directive mitigates the possibility of denial of service attacks which use hash collisions. If there are more input variables than specified by this directive, an E_WARNING is issued, and further input variables are truncated from the request. This limit applies only to each nesting level of a multi-dimensional input array.

Your advise appreciated.

Are you sure your version is 5.3.29? php.net released 5.3.24 8 days ago.

Nope, it's PHP Version 5.3.23

 

[Fillip H.]

In that case, you can simply add max_input_vars = 10000 almost anywhere inside the php.ini file underneath

[/B] and it should work once you restart Apache :)

Update: Additionally, if your ACP PHPInfo has this setting filled out: "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" You can for instance create /usr/local/lib/php.ini.d/override.ini (if /usr/local/lib/php.ini.d/ is the "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" folder) and only put max_input_vars = 100000 in it.

Hiya I have added the line after max_input_limit and worked like miracle.
