Hello everyone, today I'm going to write a short guide on how to change values for your account's PHP. Changing these values(for example, register_globals, max_input_time, max_execution_time and etc.) is sometimes requirement for the software which you are planning to install. Here are the few steps you need to do in order to get the changed values working:

1. FTP to your public_html folder and create (or edit if you already have) a .htaccess file. Place the following lines in the file:

Code: [Select]

AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php
Action php5-fastcgi /cgi-bin/php5.fcgi
2. Go to your cgi-bin folder inside your public_html foler and copy your php.ini file with your custom changes. After that create a file called php5.fcgi and put the following lines in it:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=1
export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=10
exec /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5
These changes are necessary since the the Apache on HostColor servers is running under FastCGI(fcgid) and the php works as suPHP. Have in mind that on other servers not all of these changes might be necessary, for example the .htaccess change might nor be mandatory.

Good one. That would most definitely come in handy.
