You're right VirtualHost (or, more often <Directory> on a dev machine) is more performant but not always accessible.

Is the htaccess file read once per request or once per file access ? in the first case, I don't think it's *that much* performance loss but in the second case it would probably have a real impact.

Hi all,

.htaccess files are a performance killer, particularly at the root of a
web application (because they apply, by default, to all sub-directories
and because they are read *every* time there is an access to any file on
the system). Even so, they are still widely used because they're easy,
but I think somehow we should provide some kind of documentation
indicating that the setting can be configured inside an Apache's Virtual
Host very easily like so:

...
php_value output_buffering Off
</VirtualHost>

Virtual hosts configuration files are read only once at Apache's reload
and cover the whole site hierarchy without further read.

Hi Philippe,

No problem whatsoever for me. Connected to that I think the actual
settings-check during the installation can be safely removed ... we
could keep it as advise, but that should be it.

Hi all

since most users will use an apache server with php loaded as a
module, what do you think of providing an .htaccess file containing
the line :

php_flag output_buffering Off

at the root of chamilo for all the users who can't / don't want to
edit their php.ini file ?

I personally use that feature locally since I don't want all my
projects to shut down output_buffering and it works quite well.
