How to set up hosting PHP

How to set up hosting PHP

Within the advanced tools of the hosting service, you will find the option Configure PHP, where you can modify different PHP directives to adjust your hosting to the requirements requested by some CMS applications. These values vary depending on the hosting plan you have contracted.
 
 
1.- PHP Version
From this option you can modify the PHP version to the one that best suits your needs.
 
 
NOTE: Remember that unsupported PHP Legacy versions have an additional cost. You can find more information in the following guide: What is PHP Legacy and how it affects your hosting at cdmon
 
2.- Memory and execution time
Two of the PHP directives you can modify are Memory_limit and Max_execution_time. These two directives are among the most important, as most CMS applications or internal programmable processes require time and memory for successful completion. 
 
 
 
  • Temporary increase of memory and execution time
You can temporarily (for 1 hour) increase the memory limit and execution time to 512 MB and 300 seconds. This increase allows you to carry out heavy content imports, update the CMS or perform installations on the hosting. 
 
 
Once this functionality is activated, you can monitor the remaining real-time availability.
 
 
Note: increasing these values may generate excessive resource consumption on the hosting; if cdmon technicians determine that it may compromise the server’s optimal stability and speed, they will reduce these values to maintain the service. 
 
3.- File upload and variables via POST and GET
The Upload_max_filesize and Post_max_size directives can be increased to upload templates, components or plugins with a weight greater than the preset values. 
 
 
4.- Session variables
These variables allow you to modify the time of the programming variables that regulate sessions for validated users on the website to control the session duration. 
  • Session.cookie_lifetime: lifetime of the cookie sent to the browser; if set to 0, it is unlimited. See more information
  • Session.gc_maxlifetime: seconds before garbage-collected data is removed. See more information

 

 
5.- Other PHP directives
Finally, you can change the allow_url_fopen directive to adapt it to your application, while the display_errors directive allows you to disable error messages generated by the hosting service to hide them when necessary.
  • Allow_url_fopen:  allows accessing files via URL using functions such as Fopen, Require, Include. See more information
  • Display_errors: determines whether errors should be displayed on screen or hidden. See more information
