NYCPHP Meetup

[David Roth]

Feel better and very soon, Scott!

I've not run into a problem with memory issues on MySQL, thanks for
explaining it. Something to certainly watch out for. The most daring change
I've made to my.cnf file is to move the MySQL databases to an eSATA RAID.

On shared hosting services, like Hostgator, you can copy the /etc/php.ini
locally to your account and  make whatever changes you need to make Joomla
happy for installation and increase the memory limit. You can also use
.htaccess to override those things as well. In the CPANEL there are
additional options for PHP. The server on Hostgator doesn't need to be
re-started for them to take effect. I forget what configuration of PHP they
are using to achieve this. I know on my own CentOS server, I do have to
restart httpd. I think it has to do with some option on PHP at compile time
(of PHP itself) if you want things to take immediate effect or not.

Shared hosting can have its limits, and often times you don't know what
they might even be until you start doing production. There is usually a
work around but sometimes the limits aren't even documented.
