Reloading nginx & php5-fpm does not update changes to php.ini

I know there is already an answer to this but I also have had a similar problem to this one and Galen's answer did not help with me.

My answer is to instead of editing /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini, edit your /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf file and add to the end something like this:

php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 10M

Where memory_limit is the value you are wanting to edit on your php.ini and 10M... I think you get the picture!

The issue is probably that you never actually restarted php-fpm. I had issues with this as well, apparently theres a bunch of different ways to restart php-fpm, and some of them dont work for certain environments.

Try those and see if they reload it.
