I have a trouble installing mautic  
  
“PHP version 5.6.x requires the PHP configuration directive always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data be set to -1. This is handled automatically by the .htaccess file when using Apache and mod\_php5, but must be set manually in php.ini for other server configurations. Please add ‘always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data = -1’ to your php.ini and restart your web server.”  
  
  
  
How I can fix it?

I upgraded to PHP 7 and that issue was gone. Do you have the option to upgrade?

As sample  
memory\_limit = 268435456;  
post\_max\_size = 67108864;  
safe\_mode = off;  
upload\_max\_filesize = 67108864;
