Step 4-a ) In the following list of derectives, I have included information against the directives that are important for WordPress sites.
Basic Mode PHP Directive:
- allow_url_fopen
- allow_url_include
- enable_dl
- file_uploads = Whether or not to allow HTTP file uploads.Enabled
- max_execution_time = This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 90.
600 - max_input_time
- max_input_vars
- memory_limit = This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.
128M
PHP Default: 128M - post_max_size = Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
8M
PHP Default: 8M - session.gc_maxlifetime
- session.save_path
- upload_max_filesize = The maximum size of an uploaded file.
20M
PHP Default: 2M - zlib.output_compression = Whether to transparently compress pages. If this option is set to “On” in php.ini or the Apache configuration, pages are compressed if the browser sends an “Accept-Encoding: gzip” or “deflate” header.
