Nginx or PHP FPM ignores memory_limit in php.ini

Question

Server info: Ubuntu Server, Nginx, PHP FPM

in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini I have: memory_limit = 512M in /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf

Answer 1

Just FYI,

you should also check in /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d for any files.

It just happened to me that no matter what I wrote on /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf it would get overrided by /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf !

So if none of the above answers are not working for you, you should check this (I just lost half hour to this).
