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.

    • Just merge it with Instagram already... Meta having two platforms with overlap was a bad business decision.
    • Aw look at all the typical Elon crybabies already filing in here to whine... You people are too busy promoting hatred and violence to realize that this better technology is going to be great for lowing ride costs across the industry. Perhaps the article should focus on why Waymo didn't innovate enough and is about to be in a world of pain. The cars are expensive to build and therefore the rides are expensive. The technology also isn't as good as it should be and is too conservative. Do they still avoid highway routes in some cities? Robotaxi is going to come along with it's cheap vehicles and low fares and Uber, Lyft, and Waymo are going to be screwed. https://futurism.com/the-byte/waymo-expensive-slower-taxis
    • Hello, thanks for the feedback   This was changed because Google now requires high quality images in these articles, otherwise they might not be promoted in Google Search/News/Discover and other places  (specific link to the policy https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-discover#:~:text=appearing in Discover) so we were kind of forced into it. Google keeps moving the goalposts and it affects us greatly as a site online for almost 25 years; one change in their Search algorithm can result in half of our traffic vanishing overnight (and this has happened in the past). I will reach out to Razvan so that he is aware of your request to feature software icons more prominently.
