Memory Limit on PHP

I see that there's no individual setting for each account on WHM to change the limit on the PHP memory. So on the editor it can be changed there, but that would affect the whole server. Would the changes be a problem for other accounts on the server if we proceed with the changes? And if we do the changes, is there going to be additional instructions for it to take effect? (i.e. restarting Apache or something). Thanks! :)

  Hello, Increasing the PHP limit would not adversely effect other accounts, unless one account uses up enough memory to reduce the performance of other accounts. Apache is automatically restarted if you make the change through Web Host Manager (WHM >> PHP Configuration Editor). However, note you can simply copy /usr/local/lib/php.ini to the account's home directory and make the change in the individual php.ini file if you use suPHP as your PHP handler. Thank you.

  Thanks Michael! Helpful as always. I'll have to check that other option about the php.ini when I get the chance. For now, I should be good with upgrading the memory. Thanks again! :)
