Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting! [closed]

Question

I am receiving this error message after enabling a module. I am running Ubuntu on a Vbox. My php-apache.ini file has this line:

; Maximum input variable nesting level ; http://php.net/max-input-nesting-level max_input_nesting_level = 200

I thought this was the correct setting for nesting functions, however, since it is set to 200 and I am erroring at 100, it may not be. Is there another setting or file I am missing? Is there any other Drupal related file that holds that setting? How can I find it?

Additional Info.

I found several questions on stackoverflow that suggested this might be caused either by Zend or xdebug. I believe I turned off xdebug by commenting out the xdebiug.ini file which, for Ubuntu linix is in the etc/php5/conf.d/directory. It appears to have eliminated the error, although the module I was enabling does not appear to have installed on the admin menus completely.

Answer 1

According to this xdebug.max_nesting_level=200 solved for some of them

Could you enable xdebug and check this ? In which module are you getting this error ?

Answer 2

Silly question maybe, but are you sure that you are editing the active php.ini file? You can check this by creating a file with the phpinfo function in it, putting it on your web space and visiting it through your browser:

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Answer 3

Add the following to the beginning of your index.php if you are using xdebug:

ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 200);
