aeroswat Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Would a VPS be the lowest form of hosting required to have my own access to a private php installation? I need to make changes to the ini file which is not possible on shared hosting. I don't even know if this is possible on a VPS since essentially they are running on the same machine meaning they are probably using the same installation of php?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 What settings are you trying to change because most settings CAN be changed using either a local php.ini (when php is running as a CGI application) or a .htaccess (when php is running as an Apache Module) file?

aeroswat Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 What settings are you trying to change because most settings CAN be changed using either a local php.ini (when php is running as a CGI application) or a .htaccess (when php is running as an Apache Module) file? One i'm fairly certain is not changeable and that is the setting that limits how many queries can be executed per hour. This is only an issue right now because of the huge amount of maintenance we are doing on the database before we start using it. The 2nd one I just haven't figured out yet because there are so many people out there that talk about this but I can't ever get a definitive answer. I want my sessions to last longer. Right now I'm seeing that I should probably set the path to one of my account specific folders with the session.cookie_path and then the session.gc_maxlifetime to whatever time I need. It says I will need a garbage collection script to be able to get rid of the stuff after a certain amount of time. This is currently my biggest issue. Any tutorial you know of to help me solve this problem?
