<p>PHP settings are defined in:
- a main configuration file, usually found under <code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code>; some distributions provide different configuration environments, e.g.
    - <code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code> - used when running console scripts
    - <code>/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini</code> - used when a client requests PHP resources from Apache
    - <code>/etc/php5/php-fpm.conf</code> - used when PHP requests are proxied to PHP-FPM
- additional configuration files/entries, depending on the installed/enabled extensions:
    - <code>/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini</code></p>

<li><code>/var/www/test/phpinfo.php</code></li>

<li>make sure the script is readable by the web server user/group (usually, <code>www</code>, <code>www-data</code> or <code>httpd</code>)</li>
<li>access the script from a web browser</li>

<p><code>fail2ban</code> is an intrusion prevention framework that reads server (Apache, SSH, etc.) and uses <code>iptables</code> profiles to block brute-force attempts:

- allow 3 login attempts per IP address
- after 3 failures, permanently ban the corresponding IP adddress</p>

<p>Creating a <code>robots.txt</code> with the following contents at the root of your Shaarli installation will prevent <em>honest</em> web crawlers from indexing each and every link and Daily page from a Shaarli instance, thus getting rid of a certain amount of unsollicited network traffic.</p>
