How to Customize Your PHP Execution Engine

In BoostonCP, every domain can have its own unique PHP environment. Follow this manual to modify critical php.ini parameters for your website.

Step 1: Select Your Target Infrastructure

  1. Navigate to PHP Settings from your User Dashboard.
  2. Use the "Active Infrastructure" dropdown at the top right to select the domain you wish to configure.

Step 2: Modifying Performance Parameters

Locate the Runtime Options card. Here you can update these critical values:

  • Memory Limit: Set how much RAM a script can consume (e.g., 512M).
  • Max Upload Size: Increase this if your website requires large file uploads (e.g., 128M).
  • Execution Timeout: Define how many seconds a script is allowed to run before the neural engine terminates it.

Step 3: Enabling Debug Mode

If your website is showing a blank screen, set Display Errors to "On". This will output PHP errors directly to the browser, helping you identify syntax or fatal issues.

Step 4: Authorizing the Change

Click "SAVE CONFIGURATION". BoostonCP will transmit the new parameters to the server and reload the PHP-FPM service instantly. Your website will reflect the changes immediately without downtime.
