If your website/Server has PHP5.3.x or above installed then click the link below for custom php.ini setup steps. You will find which version of PHP your website/Server is using on the B-Core System Info page.

If your website/Server has PHP5.2.x installed and your Web Host is not listed in this Web Host List link:  http://www.ait-pro.com/aitpro-blog/3576/bulletproof-security-pro/custom-php-ini-faq/#web-hosts-list then click the link below.

Copy and paste the custom php.ini email questions in this post below and send them to your web host support.

After creating custom php.ini. I have seen this file session_mm_cgi-fcgi620.sem trying to create itself in the root directory of my website my it has been quarantined. Is this file safe. Should I restore it?

[AITpro Admin]

I did a Google search on this file and it appears to be a session file of some kind that is created by your Host.

Use the Quarantine View File Option to view this file and post the contents of the file here so I can tell you if it is safe or legit or not.  If it is safe then you can create an exclude rule in AutoRestore to ignore this file.

This is the problem.  You need to edit your custom php.ini file and add /tmp to the session.save_path directive in your custom php.ini file.  If the session.save_path directive is commented out in your php.ini file with a semi-colon ; then you need to uncomment it by removing the semi-colon in front of this directive.  For anyone else who sees this post:  If you do not have a custom php.ini file then you can create one for your website if your Host allows that.  Custom php.ini files are unique/specific to the 1,000’s of different web hosts around the world – This is not a one-size-fits-all thing.  You need to contact your Host to get all of the specific/unique information from your web host about adding a custom php.ini file for your specific Host.

Example:

session.save_path = "/tmp"

or 

session.save_path = /tmp

After setting this path your session_mm file should be saved to the /tmp dir instead of your website root folder.

Thank you a lot. Is there any file permision you would like to recommend for this php.ini?

[AITpro Admin]

You should not change the permissions of your php.ini file it needs to be 644 file permissions.  The php.ini file is protected with both .htaccess security protection and also AutoRestore/Quarantine protection.

I have searched for session.save_path in Custom php.ini file but I couldnt find it. What should I do?

[AITpro Admin]

You can add this directive yourself.

Just copy and paste this:  session.save_path = “/tmp” into your custom php.ini file.  Delete and retype the double quote characters ” and ” after pasting this into your custom php.ini file to ensure that formatting is correct.

Where should I paste it at the end or? Below is how my custom php.ini file looks like after creating it

Please do not post the entire contents of files in the Forum.  Thanks.

Actually after more Google searches I think this file is some kind of File Manager file. Use your Browser and open this file in your Browser window.  Do you see a list of files? If so, then this file is completely safe and you just need to add an exclude rule in AutoRestore.

[Young Master]

Thanks. I opened this file but there is nothing in it.

[AITpro Admin]

To exclude this single file.
1.  Go to AutoRestore and click on the Add/Exclude Static Files tab page.
2.  Choose exclude an Individual file and enter the entire path to this file in the text box and click the Exclude button.

[AITpro Admin]

You need to open the file in your Browser NOT the file itself.
Example:  yourWebsiteURL.com/session_mm_cgi-fcgi620.sem

I have opened it in my browser and its giving me 404 error
