Customizing php.conf

[hmcp]

Hi all,

is there a way to permanently customize php.conf? A template or something that would persist php.conf upon Easyapache rebuilds? Why? I want to change the insecure AddHandler directive to SetHandler with strict suffix match.

Yes, but due to that fact that it is indeed not a template, the process is slightly less pretty.

1) Edit /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_main_2.conf, add a custom include, like:

Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/myphp.conf"

The custom include would be your version of php.conf

2. Remove the php.conf include from httpd.conf, then run the distiller:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update

3. Restart Apache


I'd also perhaps advise that you add a script hook (/scripts/posteasyapache) to make sure php.conf is removed every time you rebuild. It'll get added back as long as EA is configured to compile PHP. (create the file and make sure to chmod 750, etc)

#!/bin/bash
# If the conf file is included in httpd.conf remove it
grep "php.conf" /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf >/dev/null 2>&1
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
    sed '/php.conf/d' -i /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update
    killall -USR1 httpd
fi

Thanks. Looking at what you wrote it seems the posteasyapache hook is all I need.
