Using mythweb I get the following error.
Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit
change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0

I am not able to change anything.
I added this to my php.ini  *php_value max_input_vars 10000*
restarted apache but still no go.
Suggestions?

Setting up channels used to be much easier.
