My agency has been managing what I would describe as a ‘medium’ traffic site. It gets around 5,000 unique visits per day and handles around 15,000 page views. It also has a reasonably busy membership forum.
The site uses WordPress as the CMS and we’re using HHVM to process PHP. HHVM helps to speed up admin processes and logged-in user experiences and it does a great job.
Every now and then we run into an issue with it and here is one.
When trying to return values for ini_get(‘post_max_size’) and ini_get(‘upload_max_filesize’) HHVM will return a null value.
It was breaking a plugin we are using (WP User Avatar) since it could not determine the servers maximum file upload limit and therefore, couldn’t set an upload limit for user roles.
The following solution also solves some issues with file uploading in Magento and probably loads of other issues in other apps.
Note – I’m using the Centos7 prebuilt package (https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt-Packages-on-Centos-7.x)
Open up /etc/hhvm/server.ini
nano /etc/hhvm/server.ini
Add the following option
hhvm.enable_zend_ini_compat=false
Restart HHVM
service hhvm restart
With much thanks – https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/4993
