Reseller Update

SERVER BREIF                                             

Node Group: Alpha One
Servers; SS2 / SS3
Affects: Resellers -

From the latest feedback in support tickets you’re telling us you spend a lot of time working on scripts that need custom values in the servers php.ini file,  For example a default server will have its values as below;

• upload_max_filesize = 10M
• post_max_size = 10M

If your customers install needs these values increasing or any values you would need to contact us hence making the customer wait longer and using up more of your time. To circumvent this you can now make custom changes by yourself. 

Say your customer needed a file size upload of 50MB all you need to do now is download a default php.ini file, (one in forums) edit the values you need click File> Save then upload the file to the directory where the script is that needs the custom values.

Upload_max_filesize  = 50M

There are two different ways to do this:

1. Put the custom php.ini file in each directory that contains a script that needs custom settings suPHP automatically looks in the directory where a script is located, for a php.ini file.no editing of the .htaccess file is needed.

2. Put the custom php.ini file in either the user's home or public_html directory, and put a .htaccess file that contains a suPHP_ConfigPath directive pointing to that php.ini file, in each directory that has scripts that need the custom settings.

(example - suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/php.ini)

Either method will work; they are two different ways to accomplish the same task. The difference is #1 gives you the option of having a different php.ini file in each directory, but that can be a problem when it comes to making a change and applying it to an entire account. The options just listed are two means to the same end.

A default php.ini file is provided in the resellers forums.
