Hello.

You must do several things:

**Navigate to the PHP Configuration Folder:**
In Lightsail, the PHP configuration files are typically located in /opt/bitnami/php/etc/. You can use the cd command to navigate to this directory.
```
cd /opt/bitnami/php/etc/
```
**Edit the php.ini File:**
You will need to edit the php.ini file to modify the MAX_EXECUTION_TIME and MAX_INPUT_VARS values. You can use a text editor like nano or vim. Here's an example using nano:

```
sudo nano php.ini
```
Inside the php.ini file, locate the following lines and modify them as needed:
**max_execution_time = 120
max_input_vars = 1000**

**Save and Exit:**
In nano, you can save the changes by pressing Ctrl + O, then press Enter. To exit, press Ctrl + X.

**Restart the Apache Web Server:**
After making changes to the PHP configuration, it's a good practice to restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

```
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
```
