How to add to PHP.ini on Azure Web Services?

Question

I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.drupal.org/node/2481341

The second step says:

2. On global PHP level add curl.cainfo = [enter your path]\cacert.pem to your php.ini.

How would I add this line to my current php.ini file in my Azure App Services?

Answer 1

Follow these steps in order to change PHP_INI_SYSTEM configuration settings-

1. Add an App Setting to your Web App with the key PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR and value d:\home\site\ini
2. Create an settings.ini file using Kudu Console (http://.scm.azurewebsite.net) in the d:\home\site\ini directory.
3. Add configuration settings to the settings.ini file using the same syntax you would use in a php.ini file. For example, if you wanted to point the curl.cainfo setting to a *.crt file and set 'wincache.maxfilesize' setting to 512K, your settings.ini file would contain this text:

curl.cainfo="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Git\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"

wincache.maxfilesize=512

4. Restart your Web App to load the changes.
