Linux/cPanel VPS PHP.ini

This is if you need specific functions enabled, and you don't have the feature to do this in your cPanel.

1. Copy your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to the domain's root folder.
   • Example SSH Command: cp /usr/local/lib/php.ini /home/cpusername/public_html
     1. Replace "cpusername" with the domain's actual cPanel username.
2. Make sure the file is owned by the domain's cPanel user.
   • Example SSH Command: chown cpusername:cpusername php.ini
     1. Replace "cpusername" with the domain's actual cPanel username.
   • You should be able to reset the permissions on the PHP.ini file via your cPanel's File Manager feature too.
3. Add the following to the domain's .htaccess file: SetEnv PHPRC /home/cpusername/public_html/php.ini
   1. Replace "cpusername" with the domain's actual cPanel username.
   • You should be able to see this file through FTP and SSH by default.
     • If you can't see the .htaccess file through the cPanel File Manager, you'll need to follow either of these steps depending on which cPanel Theme you have:
       • Paper Lantern Theme
         1. In File Manager click on Settings
         2. Tick the Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) box

         1. Click on the File Manager button to be prompted for some options.

         2. Tick the Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) box
         3. Click Go
4. Edit the new PHP.ini file as you see fit.
