max_input_vars 1000 [SOLVED]

[elektrozales]

I have been trying to change the language of this page to Spanish. http://elektrozales.com/es/

I can’t change "ADD TO CART" to "AÑADIR AL CARRITO". I have been trying for days, I have translated and all, but when i click on "translate back-Office" it says 1000 de max_input_vars.

and you need 4654, ask your hosting provider to increases it.

 

I just called godaddy, but they said me they don’t have that file, and I should create it, but I don’t know how.

 

I just printed my phpinfo and it said that it already exists in this place: /web/conf/php5.ini but I can’t find it, can some 1 help me?

 

I will appreciate any help, thank so much and sorry for my English, I am not native English speaker

there is my php info: http://elektrozales.com/phpinfo.php

This should be in your php.ini file under resource limits:

Here is an example:

 

max_execution_time = 1000	 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = -1 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 1024M	  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)
max_input_vars = 10000;

[tdr170]

That may be a hidden file call Go Daady back and tell them you need the max_input_vars increased in your PHP,ini file.

In the root folder of your FTP account do you see a web folder.

Funny how some host are, with mine I am able to edit my PHP.ini file right from the control panel and even switch between 5.2 and 5.3.

Funny thing was though with PHP 5.3 even when I changed the max_input I still received this message I switched back to 5.2 and no more errors.

Here is why 5.2 has no such variable that started with 5.3.

 

 

You can create a file named php5.ini and place this code inside then upload to the root of your domain.and see if it helps

 

 

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted

max_input_vars = 5000

 

 

OR

 

You could also try adding this to your .htaccess file: (do one or the other)

[color=#3F3E29][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]php_value max_input_vars 5000[/font][/color]

thanks for your fast replys

[tdr170]

I made the file for you just download to your computer then upload to the root folder of your shop.

 

before uploading change the name to php5.ini or php.ini the forum does not allow .ini files to be uploaded.

Hi,

I have the same problem.

I have uploaded the file php5.ini in the root of the shop but I have the same error.

Warning: Your PHP configuration limits the number of fields in the form of post:

1000 max_input_vars.

Please ask your provider to increase this limit to a minimum of 1632 or translate the file manually ..

what's wrong ?

My php version is PHP 5.3

my shop is hosted on go daddy.

Thank you in advance

Have a nice day

and if you try with php.ini (not php5.ini) ?

[EssenzaLunare]

I should rename the file php.ini? only this? in the root of the shop?

[vekia]

i don't know specification of godaddy, but you should send PM to @Ken_GoDaddy - he is a member of godaddy team here, im convinced that he will help you!

Hello everyone. Thanks for sharing this topic. I have the same problem with translations, but my provider told me that it is not possible to increase the value!! What do I do now?

Hello everyone. Thanks for sharing this topic. I have the same problem with translations, but my provider told me that it is not possible to increase the value!! What do I do now? 

 

Probably the only workable solution is to replicate your shop on a localhost running on your computer.  (search forum on how to do this or open a new topic).  This will allow you to set you localhost values so that you can make the changes, then you  would ftp  those changes to your remote..

 

The better option is to find another hosting company.

Thank you El Patron for advice. I replicated the shop on localhost as you suggested. I had done that before, so it wasn't such a big problem. Now I can access all my translations. So thanks again. 

[jeyjoo]

I have been through this problem  with a number of different hosts. With different host companies, one of the following always worked for me:

 

• Ask your hosting panel to make the change to the php
• Or add the following line to your htaccess (without quotes): "php_value max_input_vars 4000"
• Or add the following line to your htaccess (without quotes): "php_flag max_input_vars 4000

However, I am currently working on a site hosted on GoDaddy (helpful support but absolutely useless hosting) and the issue is not resolving.

[vekia]

check this: godaddy + max input vars

php.ini helped! Thnx!

Just wanted to add this: For me the solution was to edit the php.ini file located in the etc/php5/apache2-folder. I guess the location can be different from host to host. I have a cloud-vps server btw.

What filename does my PHP initialization file (php.ini) need to use?

Date Submitted: 1-31-2014

PHP initialization files can manage form, server, and environmental variables as well as server-side cookies, temporary directories, error display, and error logging.

The file name your PHP initialization must use depends on the type of hosting account you have. For more information, see What type of hosting account do I have?

Type

Filename

 

Web Hosting - Windows
with PHP 5.4 (info) .user.ini

 

 All Other Web Hosting php5.ini

 

*cPanel .user.ini

 

Plesk .user.ini

 

Managed WordPress php.ini

 

^* You must have a .user.ini file in the Web root of each domain to modify its PHP settings.

Web Hosting accounts running Windows with IIS 6 do not support PHP and therefore do not support PHP initialization files.

i fix finaly in godaddy , 1 first - you should put file named php.ini to /public_html

2 -  put this variable      (suhosin.post.max_vars = 4252

suhosin.request.max_vars = 4252

max_input_vars = 10000)

 

 

 

have fun

[PS User]

Just be aware that in PHP 5.2.38 there is no such option "max_input_vars" to change, at least do a search and look into the resource limits category... any idea?

 

Try to add it on, no change at all, I am hosting my own server and have full access to it, and I am running on Windows Server 2012 R2 version newest. with IIS 8.0

[cesarnc]

Sorry to raise that issue again. I'm having a hard time here.  Tried them all: change the .haccess, php.ini, so forth. 

 

I use PHP2 (changed from PHP3 as suggested in some forums) and the configuration is there as max_input_vars=1000

 

Question is: Is that possible that the host prevent me from overriding this parameter in anyway?

 

In times, there was no php.ini file in my directories, coming from the host. I created my own. 

 

Thanks in advance.... Really needing to solve this.

yes, it's very possible that your hosting is limiting this.

 

use this free module to see what if any affects your changes have made

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/278164-free-module-display-php-environment-phpinfo-back-office/

 

if your changes are not seen, then contact your hosting company.  If they can not change then move to new hosting as having xlate (in fact control of all content) is very important.

Yes, they said they "can't change" the configuration. I should try via .htaccess. But I don`t even know if they know what I was talking about. 

 

Just submitted another request, maybe I get a better "tech" guy over there. I never used this host before. And I always managed to correct this input var issue quite easily before.

[cesarnc]

El Patron, 

 

I found another host and asked them about this issue. The answer was "you can change most of the settings blah blah blahb via .htaccess"

 

Is there a way that I can "test" this before uploading the entire store? The module you suggested worked like a charm, but only under prestashop's environment. 

 

Thanks for you help.... 

[cesarnc]

Never mind, I found the solution with phpinfo()

 

I'm resistent to changing host right now.... Maybe you can give me some light here. 

 

My .htaccess file has this solely info:

 

# Do not remove this line or mod_rewrite rules and search engine friendly URLs will stop working

RewriteBase /

 

*then I would have to add:*

 

php_flag max_input_vars 4000

 

I wonder whether or not I'm missing some "/" or ";" in this thing. What about that slash in the end of the line? Does it stop the following commands?

[bartom]

Hi All,

I've tried all the options described in that post and none is working with my Hostinger host provider.

I would appreciate any other suggestions.

[vekia]

we don't know your hosting environment configuration

some hosts blocks possibiltiy to deal with php configuration via php.ini / htaccess file

in cases like that it's worth to contact with host and ask about possibilities in php environment configuraiton

[cesarnc]

I've contacted them. They say I could "try" to change it via the .htaccess. I tried and it didn't work. 

 

No candy for us there.

[vekia]

thay said you how to do that? or just said that you have to change .htaccess ?

Already given by @rumit

 

Try to add to the top of your .htaccess (inside prestashop folder)

##

# max_imput_var = 1000 default. Increased to 5000
<IfModule php5_module>
 php_value max_input_vars 5000
 php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 5000

btw. why not to ask hoster about that? i mean, if it is possible to alter php configuration via htaccess

why not to ask them HOW TO DO THAT? it's worth to because you use solution that works on local, but it doesnt work on remote

 

so it's something wrong with hosting, not local installation

[myselfidem]

Well vekia. Thanks for your reply...I will ask to the hoster by "ticket" and wait his answer.

My "feeling" is that the people in charge of the tickets don't know much. The answer they gave me that "I could try" to change on .htaccess. 

 

Possibly there are other variables that can be changed that way. And, very likely, they don't know which and how LOL. 

 

Oh, and of course, I was using their free hosting. Meybe you can change these things under a paid hosting. 

[vekia]

i will be honest: free hosting?

i don't think so that free hosting is a great idea to run prestashop store

free hostings are highly limited... 

 

and this is probably why it doesnt want to work

[shiggidydog]

Took me a while to figure out the exact steps to get this to work.  

I'm using a godaddy shared Linux hosting account (Deluxe in case you were wondering)

 

1) I have multiple domain names as add on domains to my hosting account.  The current domain that I am working on is not the primary domain on the hosting account, but an add-on which has it's own root folder in my file manager (ex. webroot/domain.com/)  

2) I spent quite a bit of time dropping in php.ini as well as php5.ini into my domain's root folder with none of them working.  Furthermore, I installed prestashop into "webroot/domain.com/shop/" which is where prestashops .htaccess file is located.

3) In order for me to get this to work i had to go back to my webroot folder (which is outside of my domain.com's root folder) and put my php5.ini there.  Note: php.ini will not work 

4) I then needed to go into my hosting account and click on "System Processes" then click the button "End Web" for my php5.ini file to take effect.  

 

And in case you were wondering which values I added to my php5.ini file... 

 

suhosin.post.max_vars = 4252;

suhosin.request.max_vars = 4252;

max_input_vars = 10000;

 

That was it.  I verified that the changes took place by using a phpinfo() file and everything now seems to work.

 

Hope this helps someone!

[jbej]

I made the file for you just download to your computer then upload to the root folder of your shop.

 

before uploading change the name to php5.ini or php.ini the forum does not allow .ini files to be uploaded.

 

 

php.txt

Worked like a charm thank you!!!

[bellini13]

you should be very careful with allowing those large post sizes to hit your server.  there is a reason ( a good one) that most hosts restrict allowing high values here.  50,000 would be a very high number.

[emilio_bibo]

Hi, same problem here. I am on inmotion hosting

I made following changes on ph.ini file, but still not working.

 

max_execution_time = 30     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data

memory_limit = 512M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

max_input_vars = 5000

suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000

suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

 

Should I try to increase it?

[vekia]

what message you see? how many inputs you have there, where you see message about max input vars? you should be able to see message about that under localization > translations > installed modules translations

[emilio_bibo]

Hi Vekia,

The following message is displaying under localization > translations > installed modules translations

 

Warning! Your PHP configuration limits the maximum number of fields allowed in a form
1000 for max_input_vars.
Please ask your hosting provider to increase this limit to 3725 at least, or you will have to edit the translation files.

[unlimitedgrain]

Hi All,

 

I've had the same issue and have a provider that is very cooperative to change the value.

However: I was told that increasing the value also has a downside in performance!

 

I have noticed that if I get the message in Translation and I restart my computer, the message is gone and I can do the translations.

So it's sometimes caused because of full cach. My value is at 4000!

[bellini13]

It becomes a performance and security issue, since your server will now allow form submissions to contain 4000 parameters.  Hackers will try to use that as an opportunity to DDOS your server or find a way in.

 

Therefore you should not allow this globally.  You should configure it in a way that it will only apply to your back office folder.  Tell that to your hosting provider and they should understand.

[unlimitedgrain]

Thanks for your explanation. Still it is also the fact that it is not always necessary and can be solved by a restart of your computer ;-)

[olsevcan]

Unfortunately none of solutions above worked for me. I've almost copy entire database into localhost and try there my luck, but i found solution here:
 
http://dh42.com/blog/speed-prestashop-php-ini/
 
I still can't belive it works, after hours and hours of trying to solve this up.
I have GoDaddy hosting and i've tried this method:
 
- put info.php in root folder
- put php.ini file in same root folder (you need to create it from blank, detailed information in link i've posted):

[PHP]
memory_limit = 2048M
max_execution_time = 1000;
max_input_time = -1;
post_max_size = 15M;
upload_max_filesize = 15M;
max_input_vars = 10000;
suhosin.get.max_vars = 10000;
suhosin.post.max_vars = 10000;

(you can change vars form 10000 to your number)

- kill all php processes in GoDaddy cPanel !!!

your host may not allow for you to alter this setting, and is probably trying to redirect you to an error page, which it cannot find so you are getting a 404 page not found for the error page.

Ok,  tnx.  Ive reported it to my hosting-provider.

Hope they can fix it

 

In the meanwhile,  solutions are welcome

Hello,

 

I am getting same issue on translation page.

I tried with .htaccess file as

php_value max_input_vars 5000

 

but it gives me 500 internal server error.

 

Is there any special for mat to do it?

[bellini13]

your hosting provider has likely restricted you from doing this.  you should contact them and request that they increase this value for you.  if you are on a shared hosting platform, they will likely say no

[kiran.jawa]

Thanks @bellini13.

 

But is there any other solution in case of shared host?

[bellini13]

speak with your host, it is up to them

[racemaniac]

My provider did the nessesary changes. ( all of them because after changing the mentioned errors there were several other which occured)
 

everything works fine now

Hello I am having this same issue. My provider told me I can "increase this by creating your own php.ini file in the public_html folder."

 

I tried to download the file you attached but I don't think it is there anymore.

<IfModule php5_module>
php_value max_input_vars 2000
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 2000
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 2000
</IfModule>

nothing happends and still i cant translate my site.

i would suggest you reach out to your hosting provider directly and ask them to help support you to increase these settings.  The likely answer you are going to find out, is that they will not allow you to, but start first by asking them

Solution for online store ( cpanel ) not for localhost 

 

1. Create file .user.ini

 

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
max_input_vars = 5000;

 

2. Create file php.ini

 

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
max_input_vars = 5000;

 

Upload them into http://www.example.com/public_html

 

Cheers!

Hello Everyone, 

 

Thank you for all your posts.  I tried everything and it wasn't working.  Finally I called Godaddy again and I used this in a php.ini file, thanks to an earlier post:

[PHP]
memory_limit = 2048M
max_execution_time = 1000;
max_input_time = -1;
post_max_size = 15M;
upload_max_filesize = 15M;
max_input_vars = 4000;
suhosin.get.max_vars = 4000;
suhosin.post.max_vars = 4000;

I put the file in the public_html root and another copy in the prestashop root.  In the cPanel, I went to php processes then I killed the processes.  At that point it still was not working.  The godaddy rep said to go again in cpanel to select php version and changed the version from native 5.4 to 5.4.  I then went to PHP options and there you can change the individual settings, all the lines were there except max_input_vars (great! /sarcasm).  However, at that point I refreshed the translations page, and it was working!.  HAHA, not sure what updated it.  But it worked.

 

I had this issue few years ago also with Godaddy and I remember that I resolved it in a different way.  I guess the changes vary from system to sytem and versions.

 

Thank you all for your help!

[tomnet]

same problem here and cant download the file.

[BlackEdition]

 

I would like to thank and inform you that the above file on this date still is working very well.

I put the file in / public_html as the name php.ini

very sheltered by tdr170 file

sorry my english.

 

I forgot to mention. xD

my hosting is godaddy linux

 

Thank you very much, this worked for me!

 

I created a php.ini file and add those 2 lines:

[PHP]
max_input_vars = 5000

Then I uploaded the file to my public_html directory then it worked right after that..thanks!!!

I am using GoDaddy hosting and I couldn't find php.ini anywhere, and I also tried to add the max vars code in my .htaccess file but that didn't work for me and I get 500 Internal Error message. But the solution above worked great.

Hi all,

 

I edited php.ini file as max_input_vars 5000. After modification I'm not able to sign in my prestashop admin. It says the password is incorrect. I tried to use "forgot password" function but I didn't receive any reset mail form prestashop. After that I contacted with Hostgator support. They said me that "your edits changed some core files" and we can't fix this issue, you can restore or can contact with developer.

 

Do you have any idea how can I solve this issue?

 

Best!

Hi. Canon i get this PHP file? I need to update wordpress Theme, which requres higher max_Input_var value..

[kennyaires]

That may be a hidden file call Go Daady back and tell them you need the max_input_vars increased in your PHP,ini file.

In the root folder of your FTP account do you see a web folder.

Funny how some host are, with mine I am able to edit my PHP.ini file right from the control panel and even switch between 5.2 and 5.3.

Funny thing was though with PHP 5.3 even when I changed the max_input I still received this message I switched back to 5.2 and no more errors.

Here is why 5.2 has no such variable that started with 5.3.

 

 

You can create a file named php5.ini and place this code inside then upload to the root of your domain.and see if it helps

 

 

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted

max_input_vars = 5000

 

 

OR

 

You could also try adding this to your .htaccess file: (do one or the other)

php_value max_input_vars 5000

 Thanks my man, editing the .htacess worked just fine to me!
