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.
