Step 1: Accessing CPanel
To create a custom php.ini file in CPanel, the first step is to access your CPanel account. You can do this by entering your CPanel URL in your web browser and logging in with your username and password.
Step 2: Locating the «Select PHP Version» option
Once you are logged in to your CPanel account, you need to locate the «Select PHP Version» option. This option allows you to choose the PHP version for your website.
Step 3: Selecting the desired PHP version
After finding the «Select PHP Version» option, click on it to open the PHP version selector. Here, you will see a list of available PHP versions. Select the desired PHP version for your website.
Step 4: Clicking on the «Switch to PHP Options» link
After selecting the PHP version, you will see a link that says «Switch to PHP Options». Click on this link to access the PHP options for your selected PHP version.
Step 5: Editing the php.ini settings
Once you are in the PHP options section, you will see a list of various PHP settings. Look for the «php.ini» option and click on it to edit the php.ini file.
Here, you can modify the default settings of the php.ini file according to your requirements. You can change settings related to memory limit, file upload size, error reporting, and many other PHP configurations.
Make sure to carefully review and understand the impact of each setting before making any changes. Incorrect configurations can lead to issues with your website’s functionality.
Step 6: Saving the changes
After making the necessary changes to the php.ini settings, click on the «Save» button to save your changes. CPanel will generate a custom php.ini file with your modified settings.
Step 7: Verifying the changes
Once you have saved the changes, it is important to verify if the custom php.ini file is working correctly. You can do this by creating a PHP file with the following code:
«`php
«`
Save this file with a .php extension and upload it to your website’s root directory. Access the file through your web browser, and you will see a detailed PHP information page.
Scroll down to the «Configuration» section and look for the «Loaded Configuration File» value. If it shows the path to your custom php.ini file, then the changes have been successfully applied.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a custom php.ini file in CPanel. Remember to regularly review and update your php.ini settings as per your website’s requirements.
