httpd.conf configuration

tonyk · #1 26-Jan-2004, 23:47

Hi, I stumbled across this forum from a google search.

If I have PHP enabled on a directory (/home/apache/htdocs/), how do I make it so that everything under a certain directory will not run PHP files (/home/apache/htdocs/userfiles/)?

Reason that I ask, is that I am going to offer some hosting and don't want them to have the access to run PHP files.

If you setup a virtual host or directory setting you can put one of the lines there to disable the PHP engine:

Code:

php_admin_value engine 0
OR
php_admin_flag engine off

I've never setup something like that myself, but something I think something like this should work

Code:

<Directory /home/apache/htdocs/userfiles>
 php_admin_value engine 0
</Directory>

I should note that you should put the 'engine' flag in every <VirtualHost> section.
There are a lot of bugs with this. setting the engine flag for every virtual host seems to solve those problems

Hello Tonyk,

Here's something else you can try... add this in the httpd.conf file where appropriate i.e. for the directory /home/apache/htdocs/userfiles/:

Code:

# if your default is
# AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml, then..
RemoveType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
