How to change PHP Settings in DirectAdmin
Like MultiPHP INI Editor in cPanel, DirectAdmin introduced PHP Settings. Using the same option, you can manage various settings of PHP, such as managing memory limit, error reporting, etc. We'll teach you how to adjust PHP settings in DirectAdmin.
1. First, to login into DirectAdmin control panel visit,
https://your-domain.com:2222 or https://IP-address:2222 or https://server-hostname:2222.
2. Navigate to Account Manager → PHP Settings.
3. In the Setting option, you have a dropdown with many configurable options. For example, if you want to configure the memory_limit; select the memory_limit from the scrollable Setting option.
4. Next, enter the value for the selected Setting. For the example above, we have selected memory_limit. By default, the memory_limit comes with pre-defined values (64M, 128M, etc.), but also you can enter the custom value as per the requirements.
5. Finally, click on Add.
Using the PHP Settings you can configure/manage the following php settings,
| display_errors | error_reporting | file_uploads |
| include_path | log_errors | mail.force_extra_parameters |
| mex_execution_time | max_input_time | max_input_vars |
| memory_limit | post_max_size | register_globals |
| session.gc_maxlifetime | short_open_tag | upload_max_filesize |
| zlib.output_compression |
