Replicate Webfaction's PHP setup to handle per application php.ini

Question

Hello, I've recently migrated to web225 server and trying to make all my PHP apps work, as nicely explained here http://docs.webfaction.com/software/php.html

There are some problems with config changes: .htaccess php_value to per application php.in. While they work on Webfaction, I also need them to work on my local server.

Can you please tell how can I configure my Apache and PHP 5.3 (at Ubuntu) to handle these php.ini files properly? For now they are simply ignored.

Hi,

You can install PHP as CGI using:

apt-get install php5-cgi
apt-get install php5-mysql

You then need to add:

ScriptAlias /local-bin /usr/bin
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php
Action application/x-httpd-php5 /local-bin/php-cgi

to your httpd.conf

You then need to add:

error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
error_log = /var/log/php.log
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 64M
register_globals = Off

or any other global setting you need to /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

You then need to use:

SetEnv PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR "/this/vhosts/php/ini/folder"

in your virtualhosts to honor local php.ini files.

Hope that helps!
