History: Special configurations with Virtualmin

How to install WikiSuite documents a typical installation. But your needs can differ.

As of 2021-01-01, this page is still early draft.

The goal is to document (or even better point to documentation) about

• Change server-wide settings via CLI
• Change server-wide settings via GUI
• Overriding settings for one site via CLI
• Overriding settings for one site via text file (like .user.ini) which work well for cloneandupgrade
• Overriding settings for one site via GUI

Should we have a default .user.ini? Perhaps with some common settings commented out?

Should we have _user.ini for default values? And we can have an alias like we do for .htaccess to _htaccess?

.user.ini

post_max_size = 1000M
memory_limit = 4000M 
upload_max_filesize = 1000M 
display_errors = On
error_reporting = E_ALL

Display error messages

To do: document way to override for whole server. Ex.: a dev server could have always at on, or per site.

Virtualmin -> Services -> PHP-FPM Configuration -> Error Logging -> Display error messages

Change PHP version

In theory: Virtualmin -> (pick the Virtual Server or Sub Server) -> Server Configuration -> PHP Versions but as of 2021-01-20, this breaks the connection with the database.

zlib.output_compression

On ClearOS, it was recommended to put zlib.output_compression = 1 in .user.ini What about Virtualmin?
