[SOLVED] second question on configuration - by: dabeegmon

Greetings

I am quite new to system administration so this is likely just a noobie stupidity but - - - -

In trying to work through the configuration screen I am getting

>max_input_vars=1000 is too small - value should be at least 2000, 4000 recommended - check your php configuration (php.ini)

so I use

# locate php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini
/usr/lib/php/7.0/php.ini-development
/usr/lib/php/7.0/php.ini-production
/usr/lib/php/7.0/php.ini-production.cli

change the value of

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
; max_input_vars = 4000

in all 6 to the above, then do a service apache2 restart - - - - and the configuration is still complaining that I'm only allowing 1000 and I should allow more.

How do I change the php.ini file or which one or ????? do I do to fix this ?
