Custom ini directory for App Service Linux

Question

Hi, I want to deploy a Wordpress site on Azure App Service on Linux, the issues is coming when i need to put custom .ini file.

Read on this URL, i need to put a line on Application Settings with PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR and Linux Directory, apparently it redirect all ini file to the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR, make it lost all default ini file below.

I lost the default ini file and turn only custom ini file:

Anyone know how to put a custom apache/php ini file?

Answer 1

For PHP enabled through App Settings, we cannot modify php.ini directly. However, we can modify it by using XDT transformation:

 

Copy php.ini for the version you are using to D:\home\site

 

For ex, when using php 5.6:

Copy d:\local\Config\PHP-5.6.10\php.ini d:\home\site\php56.ini

After this add applicationHost.xdt file in D:\home\site folder and add php.ini file.

For ex. For php 5.6, below is the applicationHost.xdt file:

<?xml version=”1.0″?>

<configuration xmlns:xdt=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform”>

  <system.webServer>

    <fastCgi>

      <application fullPath=”D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.6\php-cgi.exe” xdt:Locator=”Match(fullPath)”>       

          <environmentVariables>

                <environmentVariable name=”PHPRC” xdt:Locator=”Match(name)” value=”d:\home\site\php56.ini” xdt:Transform=”SetAttributes(value)” />

          </environmentVariables>

      </application>

    </fastCgi>    

  </system.webServer>

</configuration>

 

You can then make changes to your php.ini file and those should take effect.
