thanks i got it

1) Enable register_globals=On

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/40DataHandling /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
vi /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
register_globals=On
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf

[ksc133]

sorry made a mistake

should be

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/40DataHandling /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
vi /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/40DataHandling
register_globals=On
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini

I get the following error when I tried the above.

Skipping /etc/e-smith/templates-custom//etc/php.ini/.40DataHandling.swp at /sbin/e-smith/expand-template line 45

Any suggestions how to Undo,

I only want temporary have the globals on to test some errors in my Gallery install.

You can easily undo customization because of the template system by deleting the custom templates (or moving them out of the tree). After that (re-)expand the template concerned and restart the services that are using this file:

Code: [Select]

rm -f /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/.40DataHandling.swp
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1

Jinzora recommends changes to the php.ini file.

I have read through the posts on modifications to the php.ini file using templates, but have to confess that I have trouble understanding exactly what I should be doing.

Code: [Select]


Setting                    Actual   Recommend
max_execution_time:       30 300+
memory_limit:               32M      32M+
post_max_size:               20M 32M+
file_uploads:                 1 1 (on)
upload_max_filesize:    10M 32M+


(by the way are the "+" to be entered or is this to indicate "at least"?)

I am running 7.0rc3, and am making a manual install of Jinzora (not Dungog as I can't figure out the relation between it and ibays.)

Any help is welcome.

Having read the proposed solutions again

I have done this, as what seemed to be the clearest solution:

Code: [Select]


[root@myserver ~]# config setprop php MemoryLimit 32M
[root@myserver ~]# config setprop php max_execution_time 300
[root@myserver ~]# config setprop php upload_max_filesize 32M
[root@myserver ~]# config setprop php post_max_size 32M


and rebooted the server.

Jinzora still reports

Code: [Select]


Setting Actual Recommend
max_execution_time: 30 300+
memory_limit:         32M 32M+
post_max_size:         20M 32M+
file_uploads:        1 1 (on)
upload_max_filesize: 10M 32M+


Thanks for any relevant advise

That is because you forgot one step before rebooting the machine. After changing configuration parameters you should expand the templates affected by them again, so changes are reflected in the configuration files of the services. In this case:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/php.iniafter that

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1 should reload apache (and php) and the new settings should be in use (as you can see you do not need to reboot your machine to incorporate your changes )

Did you read the posts on the link I gave ?
To quote Charlie Brady
There's no need to change any templates to change those limits. The configuration database has properties for all those values:

config setprop php MemoryLimit nnnn
config setprop php PostMaxSize mmmm
config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize pppp
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart


5 August 2006 edited this to correct "pload" to "Upload"

I have finally worked up enough courage to say that it does not work. Here is what I did and the result (hope my firs of use of "grep" is OK.

Code: [Select]


[root@myserver etc]# config setprop php post_max_size 64M
[root@myserver etc]# db configuration show php
php=service
    AllowUrlFopen=Off
    MemoryLimit=64
    max_execution_time=2400
    post_max_size=64M
    show=memorylimit
    status=enabled
    upload_max_filesix=32
    upload_max_filesize=300
[root@myserver etc]# expand-template /etc/php.ini
[root@myserver etc]# grep post_max_size /etc/php.ini
post_max_size           =20M
[root@myserver etc]#


I guess this should be easy and that I can probably find if I search, but I am stuck. Any help / directions will be much appriciated.

You are using the wrong value. you can find the right database key if you look through the template architecture. To solve your problem:
In order of appearance we:

• delete the old invalid key entered by you
• create the right key
• expand the template to incorporate the changes made
• restart httpd to load the changes you made

Code: [Select]

config delprop php post_max_size
config setprop php PostMaxSize 20M
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1

Thanks, that was the problem
