2. Configurations For a PHP driven site, there are two main types of configuration we need to consider PHP configuration Primarily done through an ini file Server Configuration This is a little different depending on the type of server

3. PHP INI File If you have access to where PHP is installed on the server, you will usually find a php.ini file with all of the settings for PHP that are initialized on startup In a shared environment like on GoDaddy, we need to add an ini file into our site GoDaddy only allows us to create a “.user.ini” file, which has a few limitations on settings Basically the settings we put in this file override the defaults provided by the main php.ini file managed by GoDaddy

4. .user.ini All of the php.ini settings are listed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php The.user.ini file is limited to only being able to modify variables with the Changeable attribute set to “PHP_INI_PERDIR” or “PHP_INI_ALL” I’m going to go through a few of the more common settings, but if you are looking for something specific, take a look at the list linked above To see the current configuration, use

5. .user.ini arg_separator.input auto_append_file auto_prepend_file date.timezone display_errors error_reporting include_path max_execution_time memory_limit open_basedir post_max_size short_open_tag upload_max_filesize max_file_uploads Changes in this file can take 5 minutes (according to GoDaddy)

6. Server Configuration There are several web server engines available to pick from Some of the more common ones: Apache, Internet Information Services(IIS) IIS is the windows web server and uses web.config files to change the server settings Apache is one of the most common web servers for linux, but can also be run on windows, and uses a series of different configuration files, httpd.conf,.htaccess, and a few others

7. Server Settings The web.config file is in XML format, making it relatively easy to modify If you have direct server access, there is also a GUI interface for making configuration changes Some settings we have used already this semester are showing error messages and URL rewriting (with CI) Our.NET projects also included a web.config with some settings describing which.NET library to use and connection strings for the project
