I have a netbook with a recently installed ubuntu server 12.04 64-bit. I have (only) installed Joomla on it (version 2.5) and now I am trying to tweak the php.ini settings so I can install jomsocial onto joomla.

I have changed these settings:

upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 8M

to this:

upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M

in all php.ini-files in my system. Thats six files, found using 'locate':

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development
/usr/share/php5/php.ini-production
/usr/share/php5/php.ini-production-dist
/usr/share/php5/php.ini-production.cli

I have double-checked that these files actually contain the new settings.

Still, joomla does not recognize the new settings, stating that upload_max_filesize is still only 2M and post_max_size is still only 8M

The same is true after a complete restart of the server.

What am I doing wrong here?
