Increase max_input_vars for Moodle (PHP-FPM)

[davidsgraciaa]

Hello,

I am running Moodle on my website (davidsgraciaa.helioho.st).

Moodle requires the PHP setting "max_input_vars" to be at least 5000. I tried to override it using user.ini and PHP Settings, but this causes a 502 Bad Gateway error or the value is ignored.

Could you please increase "max_input_vars" to 5000 (or higher) for my domain at the PHP-FPM / server level?

Additionally, I would like to ask if it is possible to add and use the domain academic.jgmun.com for this Moodle installation (as an additional domain or alias pointing to the same site).

Thank you very much.

Moodle is quite literally the heaviest software we've ever tested on our service. Johnny accounts are basically guaranteed a high load suspension for memory usage if you run it due to excessive load the cron job. Please see https://wiki.helionet.org/Common_Software_Load You only have a 200GB/day memory limit on Johnny and Tommy, Moodle needs 550GB/day just to sit there and do nothing.

The paid Morty account will run the software decently enough and won't get suspended, but will incur overage fees because of the memory usage. Moodle is meant to be run on a VPS.

That said, I've added the extra domain and increased max_input_vars on the new domain for you. The domain and PHP settings changes can take up to 2 hours to function.
