Users: How to edit/access php.ini via FTP - edeis - 06-16-2010 09:38 AM
Just wondering is it possible for a user to be able to edit their own php.ini file?
/var/www/fcgi/domainname/php5/php.ini
Or is that something that only the system admin can edit?

It's Not possible.

How would a user change a php_flag or php_value in ispCP?
Normally, it would be done in .htaccess as:
php_flag register_globals Off
Since we are using fcgi for php, the changes have to be made in the php.ini, which is here:
/var/www/fcgi/domainname/php5/php.ini
It is not possible for the user to edit this file.
I have read that the way to do this is for the user to create their own php.ini file, and set the following in their .htaccess:
SetEnv PHPRC /location/todir/containing/phpinifile
I haven't been able to get this to work. I suspect that the httpd.conf is not allowing the proper override.
I have tried doing so here, with no success:
Code:
<Directory /var/www/virtual/domainname/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
FCGIWrapper /var/www/fcgi/domainname/php5-fcgi-starter .php
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>How can I enable the override?
Here's an idea. Can we set the shell script to check for a custom php.ini file?
/var/www/fcgi/artipedia.org/php5-fcgi-starter
Code:
customphp="/var/www/virtual/domain/php.ini"
if [ -f $customphp ]
then
PHPRC="/var/www/virtual/domain/"
else
PHPRC="/var/www/fcgi/domain/php5/"
fiThis works, except apache has to be restarted after the user uploads the php.ini file. Is there a way to make this happen dynamically, without having to restart apache?

You Know, that your Users can Set now their own open_basedir and their own disabled_functions.

I didn't know that. How can the users set these functions themselves? I can't find documentation in the forum.

Hi edeis
if the customers can create/edit their php.ini then they are able to also change theese values. They can configure "their" php to use all the RAM, to have no restrictions about folders (so only the file permissions can protect other customers on the same server).
That's why it's better to keep customers away from editing their php.ini.
Best way would be: offer the customers a GUI formular where they can choose some values - but you always have the control that no security related variable is changed.
btw: you don't need to restart apache - you only need to kill the php processes which handle your domain...
