I’ve gotten a number of e-mails in response to a comment I made on a post about installing Wordpress on GoDaddy hosting. Given the response I’ve gotten, I thought it was a good idea to provide my PHP.INI file that I’ve set up to other people looking for this. You can download it below.

The file is a complete PHP.INI file with all the configuration options you’d find in a full PHP installation. I’ve changed a few key settings that I found most important, such as max upload size and post size, allowing for high resolution photos to be uploaded.

If you have questions or suggestions about other ways to customize this file further, please leave a comment on this post. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the php.ini file.

    I do have a question, those values you changed, besides the upload and max values, will my site still be as secure?

    I am really hoping you can help. I am having problems with my mail function; basically I am running tikiwiki, which requires users to register. The registration email however can’t be sent, as something is going wrong with the php mail function. I tried altering the php.ini file as suggested, but still no luck. Any advice?

    Thanks.

    Hi Tim,
    i’m not real keen on Tikiwiki but, heres what my php.ini file looks like for mail functions.

    What i do and did was, not upload my php.ini. I went to my cgi admin looked at the php they had, then compared the two making adjustments.

    I’m not real sure how optimized this php.ini file he has here, due to the fact my site has been loading slow with his uploaded. Granted it is a huge site.

    My main focus when I edited this file for using with GoDaddy was increasing the upload size limit. If anybody has found ways that optimize it further, please let me know and I’ll publish them.

    Massively appreciated. Needed to turn register_globals off. This did the trick.
