Magento 2.0 installing Error always_populate_raw_post_data

Question

I am trying to install Magento 2.0 on my Server. During the Installation process, at the version check screen, there is the following error:

My server is on OpenSuse 13.2 with PHP 5.6.1.

In my /etc/php5/cli/php.ini is the following line:

always_populate_raw_post_data = -1

I restarted Apache already.

Edit

I also tried it with always_populate_raw_post_data = "-1" AND always_populate_raw_post_data = 0. For default it was like ;always_populate_raw_post_data = 0.

I run the install script via Google Chrome.

try to just comment that line like this `;always_populate_raw_post_data = On` yes that should work,, I have magento 2 installed like that :) — Kresimir Pendic, Dec 10 '15 at 11:17
we are not on same version of php, I'm on PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14.. and I installed it ok — Kresimir Pendic, Dec 10 '15 at 12:07
remove the comment `;` in front and try `always_populate_raw_post_data = -1` and restart apache service once — Tamil Selvan C, Dec 10 '15 at 15:42

In my /etc/php5/cli/php.ini is the following line:

This config file only affects php run from the command line (/cli/), and you said you're running it from Apache.

To edit the version Apache uses, you'll need to edit a different file. On OpenSUSE, it should be /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. If you're using Apache with PHP FastCGI Process Manager, it would be /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini. You can then set always_populate_raw_post_data to 1 or On.

Note that this will not work in PHP 7.0+ as always_populate_raw_post_data no longer exists in PHP 7; you're stuck with 5.6.x for now. Hopefully Magento will fix the issue in an upcoming release.

To find your Apache php.ini path on any system, you can also put a file in the root directory of your webserver called index.php with the following contents:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And it will output PHP's runtime configuration, including it's path to php.ini.

wow, that is embarrassing ... /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini did work for me. with always_populate_raw_post_data = -1 Thank you. — MCSell, Dec 14 '15 at 09:03
PS: it was commented with ";" Magento need to set it to -1 / as off. — MCSell, Dec 14 '15 at 09:05
