amanuensis Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi I have 1.5 installed but when i go to >localisations>translations to change the 'Our Stores' title on the front page - I get this error "Warning, your PHP configuration limits the maximum number of fields to post in a form: 1000 for max_input_vars. Please ask your hosting provider to increase the this limit to 1316 at least or edit the translation file manually." i have max_input_vars up to 4500 (see screenshot) why am i still getting this error? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bocko Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Limits of 1000 is quite common these days, wouldn't it be a good idea to sort of "solve" this? Dividing the translations up in a few sections or whatever? I moved to a new host more or less because of this, it would have worked pretty fine otherwise, but I am the kind of guy who's quite drastic so I moved on. For others, this might not be an option when they launch their shop (simply can't afford it), and to always, always "find a way around things" (i.e. edit on a local WAMP-server installation, and upload through FTP) is quite frustrating in the extent.

DivertoR Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 i have finally fixed this limit!! i did this by adding in the "php.ini" file which is located in "/usr/local/lib" under the root account of the linux server and added these lines: max_input_vars = 3000 suhosin.post.max_vars = 3000 suhosin.request.max_vars = 3000 note* that some of you may already have those lines in "php.ini" file and you only have to change those numbers. credits to this post: http://anothersysadm...-and-big-forms/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispar1 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Per Vekias article, you may want to see if the host will allow 4000.

Ixus Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Hi everybody! I also had a problem with this. I have tried to put php_value max_input_vars 4000 in .htaccess whitch I found in the folder where all prestoshop files are installed, but that did not solve the issue apparently because I am using PHP 5.4. In my case i had to create a file .user.ini in my public_html directory (because there was no such file) and put the following line in the file max_input_vars = 3500 So if you are using PHP 5.2 you shoud try to put php_value max_input_vars 4000 in .htaccess in the directory where prestashop files are installed; and if you are using PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4 you should try to put max_input_vars = 3500 in .user.ini in the public_html directory.

I have looked but cant seem to find it. Apologies for sounding so thick, I am a total newbie to this (i.e. imagine you are explaining it to your granny - and then simplify it!!!). Also how do I create a new file exactly? I have had a look on Filezilla but cant see anything obvious...like "create new file" ! thanks for your help - greatly appreciated here is public_html with filezilla http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A87zJOpF07A i don't use filezilla, but i assume this is how you would do it. create the file on your desktop using notepad (right click in blank space on desktop, create new text document, paste max_input_vars = 3500 into it ) and click save as and use the filename ".user.ini" then drag that file to filezilla directory public_html Edited December 27, 2013 by greg barratt (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanda Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks for helpful reply, unfortunately it seems I dont have a public_html folder! All I have from the root directory is the htdocs folder and logfiles, I have opened both of those up and cant seem to find any such folder. Bit strange or bit simple?!

Tanda Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 All done... but still not working...maybe need to change hosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 All done... but still not working...maybe need to change hosting? Maybe. You should really contact them to find out whats going on. If they are using user.ini or php.ini , you still might not be able to change it from your side. Sometimes hosting providers do not allow you to change those file(s) via FTP. Although it's not ideal and the better hosting providers definitely allow you to change it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanda Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think you might be right there Ben, thank you for your input and thank you very much Greg for taking me through the steps, shame it didnt work with Fasthosts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think you might be right there Ben, thank you for your input and thank you very much Greg for taking me through the steps, shame it didnt work with Fasthosts It shouldn't be that big a deal for them. Be wary that if they say you need to upgrade your plan or if they give much hassle at all, you should switch. This configuration file is extremely common for users to edit themselves and they should change it no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanda Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just to update for anyone else in same situation, Fasthosts say I dont have access to the files and the max_input_vars cannot be increased above the set limit of 1000 unless I upgrade to a private server. What a crock! Off to see which hosting provider can offer a better service - any recommendations for UK (or near) hosting providers very welcome! Thanks everyone for your help yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcsteeve Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I was frustrated by this because none of the above was working for me. I fought with it for a couple of hours before eventually doing what I should have done in the first place... ask my host They upped it to 2000 (I asked for that because at first the error I got suggested I only needed ~1200). Then I went to change a different translation and got the same time, this time saying I needed 5600!!. Well, crap. I figured there was no way the host would do that, but instead of upping it to 6000... they simply gave me control over it. They added an option in cPanel where I can adjust that (and more) whenever I need to. It came with a brief and friendly warning that it may open my site up for attack, but that THEY aren't concerned about it because the way they have things set up, it can only affect my site and not others on the shared server. Fair enough! So I have to applaud StableHost for a) being this flexible and their concern (and action) regarding the fair use so that I'm not affecting others and, consequently, they aren't affecting me!

White Lion Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Dear bcsteeve Are you using "Shared Hosting" for your website? Please contact your hosting provider and ask to do this modification. They will do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatimjamal Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hello Guys , im using PrestaShop™ 1.6.0.14 and i have the same issue !!! how to fix it ?? Thx .. HJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanda Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi HJ I sorted my issue by switching to Vidahost who happily increased my limit at no extra charge, twice! All worked fine once the limit was increased. Simple! Probably need to check with your hosting provider. Highly recommend Vidahost if you need to switch. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatimjamal Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 thanks Tanda .. im using hostgator , frankly they are pretty good too .. the question is : i cant find the command the previous replies were talking about,, probably cuz of the new Prestashop version, i do have .htaccess file but im not sure where to add the command .
