Working with Extensions
In this Topic ShowHide
The Extensions page provides a convenient way to view and configure
PHP extensions.
Use this page to control and configure the extensions that are loaded
in your environment.
Changing Extension Status
|
|
|
To change an extension's status:
Go to Server
Setup | Extensions. Select an extension.
In the actions column, click Turn
off or Turn
on:
- Built-in extensions do not have the Turn
on or Turn
off option.
- After changing an extension's status, a message appears
to prompt you to click the Restart Server button at the bottom
of the screen
 .
- You can turn more than one extension on (or off) before
you click Restart Server. All the changes that are made prior
to restarting the server are applied after the restart.
- If you navigate to other tabs, the changes you make are
saved and applied when the server is restarted.
|
Changes
are updated in the Server Info page and in your php.ini file.
Changes are also applied when the server is manually restarted. |
Restart PHP Message
The
Restart PHP message appears whenever a change is made to setting in your
clusters php.ini file. In order to apply the settings go to Cluster Setup | Servers,
select the nodes to be restarted and click Restart Selected
or Restart All
to reset the PHP in all nodes. The changes will be applied to the php.ini
files on your selected node(s) that are associated with this cluster.
Configuring Directives Associated with Extensions
|
|
|
To configure a directive associated
with an extension:
Go to Server
Setup | Extensions. If the Extension
has directives that can be configured, a link appears in the
directives column.
Clicking the link opens the Directives page, with the relevant
directives already filtered. Configure the
directive as required.
You can configure multiple directives before you save and apply
your changes. Click the Save
Changes  button
at the top right corner of the screen to save your changes.
To discard changes, navigate away from the screen without
clicking the Save Changes button. |
Changes
are updated in the Extension Configuration screen and in the php.ini
file the next time the server is restarted. |
Note:
Directives of extensions that are turned off can also
be configured through the Extensions page. Added extensions that are not
part of the original Zend Server
list of extensions cannot be configured on the Extensions page.
