htaccess and mod_php


Question

I recently moved hosts, and can't seem to find the answer on why things aren't working, but think I have a clue why.

I use my .htaccess to modify the php.ini (shared host) with things like:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value upload_max_filesize 11M
php_value max_execution_time 800
php_value post_max_size 64M
</IfModule>

which always worked on the old server, but since going from PHP4 to PHP5 (even modifying the first line doesn't work

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

I noticed the upload_tmp_dir in my is set to "no value" the same thing that gave me problems in the past, but that was over 2 years ago.

I have tried:

ini_set('upload_tmp_dir', '/Storage/tmp/');

but to no success.

Anyone got any idea how I can modify my php.ini?

I do something similar on PHP5 but I don't use the first and last lines in your example, just put the php_value lines in and give it a go.

If the new host has something like suPHP set up you won't be able to use php_value commands in your htaccess file, but you should be able to create a file called php.ini to put the commands in - this will over ride the server php.ini with your values.

TO see if there is a problem with suPHP look in your error log in the control panel (if you have any!) - if you see something like 'invalid command php_value ' you are on a box with suPHP meaning you will have to use the php.ini method

I contacted my host, and they never gave me a solid answer, but did provide a solution for me, by adding a php.ini, and modifying the original php.ini so it can also read the new custom one.

Try using this instead.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

He's not looking to do any rewriting, at least he hasn't stated this.

This could be caused by a number of things, but I would try what your host actually stated. While .htaccess may work, I believe it's possible to restrict PHP configuration changes via .htaccess, especially when it comes to the upload limit; hosts don't like letting anyone set that to whatever they want.

    • Hello, I am using a Hitron CODA56 cable modem with Comcast Xfinity's 1200 Mbps service.  No issues noted.  I had looked at the Motorola and Netgear options for a cable modem, but neither was available for purchase at the time I upgraded my cable connection. There are multiple models in the Netgear Nighthawk X10 line-up.  I am guessing you have either the the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7000 model (R8900) or the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 model (R9000) model, is that correct?  Both of these only have one gigabit WAN (internet) ports for connection to the modem, all of the remaining ports for the LAN side of things are gigabit Ethernet ports.  The 10GbE port on the devices is meant for connection to local NAS storage.  I suppose you could connect the desktop computer directly to it, although it would still be limited by the gigabit connection between the cable modem and the Netgear residential gateway broadband router. I would suggest looking for a residential gateway broadband router from a company like Asus, Netgear, TP-Link or maybe even Ubiquiti, depending upon budget, that has 2.5Gbps (or faster) WAN and LAN ports.  That would allow you to make full use of the 1.2Gbps connection from your ISP as well as have some room for future growth, speed-wise.

    • Hello, RAID-1 is also known as disk mirroring.  That means that all writes are going to be performed identically to all of the drives in the array.  It may also apply to reads as well, but those tend to show less of a performance improvement. If a file gets accidentally overwritten, deleted, or otherwise accidentally modified in a RAID-1 array, that change gets written to all of the drives in the array.   If your goal is to have some level or redundancy or protection fir  your information, having two separate drives that are not RAIDed together in a mirror configuration may be the better solution, as an accidental disk or file operation on one drive does not automatically occur on the second drive.   Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
