Custom Configure Flags

Custom configure flags (also known as “raw opts”) are lines of data that advanced users can add to a specific file on the server in order to customize the configuration of Apache or PHP builds.

To add custom configure flags, you must know the version of Apache and PHP to which you need to add the flag. EasyApache allows you to specify any configure option supported by Apache and/or PHP. Simply place the option in the appropriate file; the files are as follows:

For Apache 1.3.x — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/Apache1
For Apache 2.0.x — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/Apache2
For Apache 2.2.x — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/Apache2_2
For all PHP 4.x versions — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php4
For all PHP 5.x versions — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5
For Mod_suPHP — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_suphp
For a specific PHP Version — /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/PHP-X.X.X
