Installer does not read /usr/lib64/php.ini

[NLaem]

Hi,

I did a fresh omp-beta/patched install to see if it removed any previous issues (cannot create a 'Press' post-install) - it did not.

I did notice the installer does not seem to read our /usr/lib64/php.ini-production settings.
For Directory Uploads it reiterates
Your server currently allows file uploads = No (/usr/lib64/php.ini-production is set to file_uploads = On )
Your server currently allows a maximum fie upload size of: [blank] ((/usr/lib64/php.ini-production is set upload_max_filesize = 36M )

Can I locally affect this in /omp to read this correctly?

Thanks for your help - Nancy

Hi Nancy,

Hmm, this is going to take some digging into your PHP configuration. By the time PHP code starts to run, PHP will already have initialized itself according to one or more php.ini files, and the details of where those live are platform-specific. That means there's not much we can do from inside PHP to affect this configuration (besides overriding a limited subset of settings using ini_set). I'd suggest checking your Apache config to see how PHP is integrated; it's possible IIRC to override settings there. Otherwise, it's up to PHP to find its own configuration files and load them before any PHP code is run. (Don't forget to restart Apache once you've made php.ini changes before they'll take effect.)

Hi Nancy,

It might be useful to also see which php configuration file is actually being loaded for your server's configuration. In any web accessible directory, you can create a file ending in .php with the following code in it:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>


If you load that file in a browser you will see some configuration information including the path to the config file being read, if any. It may not be the file you think it is.

Make sure you delete this file once you're finished with it since it may contain sensitive system information.
