Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Per site PHP settings in IIS?

[Canadaka]

I use Windows 2003, IIS6, PHP 5 on my server.

I am wondering if there is a way with windows/IIS to have per site settings like there is with apache/*nix with vhosts and .htaccess.

What i want and need to do is enable eaccelerator for just some of my hosted sites. Right now if I added the enable flag to eaccelerator in the php.ini it will apply to all the sites in IIS.

I know with apache/nix you can use .htaccess to set per site PHP settings, thus disabling or enabling eaccelerator and other things per site.

My problem is I don't have those things on a windows server, I am wondering if there is a way to do this with windows/IIS?

anyone? There must be something.. maybe. If not its one of the few things I have found that IIS can't do that apache can.

IIS too support this feature... you can have seperate php.ini file for each individual sites.

[Canadaka]

ok, but how?

[besty]

If your php.ini file is in c:/windows/php.ini . Then each site can have their own php.ini files inside his wwwroot(root directory). This is enough. Let me know if it is working?

I tried putting a php.ini in one of my sites root folder with error reporting on, my windows\php.ini has it off. Restarted IIS and doens't seem it works, the site doens't seem to read the php.ini in its root.

Is there something else you need to do?

And.... is it safe to have php.ini's in public web folders?

1. Did you renamed the file in php/php.ini. and do the steps what i have said it before if not

2. If not assign the domain.com_web user denied permission on that file c:\php\php.ini and place the customized php.ini file in their domain root folder.
