Custom PHP.INI / auto-installer download?

#1

Hi everyone! Newbie here. :stuck_out_tongue:

Having a difficult time trying to get a new php.ini file and .htaccess file to work properly in my attempts to increase the upload_max_filesize.

I keep running into posts on the forum that start to explain how to do it “by hand” but then end quickly with a “fix the worlds problems” link to this site: http://sxi.sabrextreme.com/phpini however, the link to the Custom PHP.INI auto-installer does not work and I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where this magic file is and would you be so kind to send it to me?

OR, if I cannot attain the magic file…

The problem with what I have done so far is, I have not been able to properly copy the default php.ini file to then alter the upload_max_filesize. The directions here: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini give me this: cp /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini $HOME/example.com/cgi-bin/php.ini
but I am not exactly sure what to do with this.

Can anyone help me!? I am in a pickle.

Thanks a bunch.

I just tested the sXi link and it downloaded. Here’s the download link:
http://sxi.sabrextreme.com/get_dh-phpini
Clicking the above will initiate a download of the zipfile. In the zipfile is dh-phpini.php which you can FTP up to your site and put it in the root domain folder (example.com) along with the favicon files already there. Then point your browser to
http://example.com/dh-phpini.php and it will take care of the rest.
