Per-domain php.ini settings

[MoreThanSixChars]

Hello world,

in order to apply domain specific php.ini settings in a Plesk 11.5 setup, I tried to follow
http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...nistration-guide/index.htm?fileName=69310.htm

If I understand correctly, this basically says:
- Make sure that PHP runs in CGI or FastCGI mode
- Put your settings into /var/www/vhosts/<domain_name>/conf/php.ini
- These settings will be merged with those made via the Plesk GUI (in case of conflicts, the "conf" setting wins)
- The resulting merged php.ini will be written to /var/www/vhosts/<domain_name>/etc/php.ini
- The merge will not occur automatically, but must be triggered in the Plesk GUI

However, I can't get this to work. My observations are:
- A newly created webspace is located at /var/www/vhosts/<domain_name>, but has no "conf" or "etc" subdirectories by default.
- PHP is set to run as FastCGI by default already.
- If I create a "conf" subdirectory and place a php.ini file in it, this file will be ignored.
- Plesk does NOT create an "etc" subdirectory with a merged php.ini no matter how often I change PHP settings in the GUI (although the GUI settings have been confirmed and are remembered by Plesk).

What am I doing wrong?

Well in Plesk 11.5 the /etc map is located in the /var/www/vhosts/system/<websitename> directorie. But beside of that you cannot make changes to that file because changes will be undone on site edits.

You should also be able to edit php settings through your control panel -> (php settings)

in Plesk 11.5 the /etc map is located in the /var/www/vhosts/system/<websitename> directorie.

I have checked and - yes, that's it! Once you add the "/system" part, both "conf/php.ini" and "etc/php.ini" in /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain> work as expected. Thanks for the hint!

@Parallels: The paths in the admin guide are incorrect for Plesk 11.5; please update the article to include the "/system" subfolder! URL: http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...nistration-guide/index.htm?fileName=69310.htm
