I just upgraded my fedora from 26 to 27. The first thing I noticed was that my local Apache server that I use for test purposes returns a 500 error.

this is the part from my httpd.conf that marks my virtualhost

<VirtualHost *:80>

  # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
  ServerAdmin [email protected]
  ServerName  social.loc
  ServerAlias social.loc


  # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/social/public_html
  <Directory "/var/www/html/social/public_html">
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>


  # Custom log file locations
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog  /var/www/html/social/logs/error.log
  CustomLog /var/www/html/social/logs/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

this is my sudo systemctl status httpd

and this is the last lines from error log:

Apparently the problem is somewhere with the .htaccess file, the contents of which are these:

php_value auto_prepend_file /var/www/html/social/public_html/php/autoload.cfg.php

Other virtualhosts that have different .htaccess files have no such problems. I don't understand what is going wrong.

Here's the problem.

Let's say you're running PHP-7.1 as an example.

When PHP is handled by libapache2-mod-php7.1 the php_value settings in .htaccess are handled by this module.

When PHP is handled by FPM, then all PHP is proxied/forwarded from Apache to FPM + Apache has no handler for php_value anymore.

The simple fix is to move all php_value settings out of .htaccess into a file called .user.ini in the same directory as your .htaccess files.

There is one primary difference between .htaccess + .user.ini file process.

.htaccess files are read every request.

.user.ini files are only read once.

This means any change to any .user.ini file requires bouncing FPM.

Bouncing - stop + restart... so...

service php7.1-fpm restart
