[webmin-l] Can't disable PHP Output Bufferring

[Douglas M. <do...@im...>]

Hello all,

I have the latest Virtualmin GPL just installed today on new clean debian squeeze using the install.sh script. Everything has seemed to work pretty well.

However, I tried to install Joomla 1.6 this evening & it is recommending I turn off PHP Output Buffering. I looked this up, and in the php.ini, we have output_buffering. It was enabled set to 4096. I have disabled it in each php.ini under /etc/php5. However, after restarting apache webserver, it continues to show that it's enabled.

I did a quick search through virtualmin.com & found that there may be an association with Output Buffering and FCGId and/or CGI wrapper.

My questions are:


1.       How can I disable output buffering?

2.       Do I really need to disable it? I read up on it a bit, and it appears that it is essentially a performance enhancement. However, if the Joomla installer recommends I disable it, then I'm assuming that there may be some known/documentation issues there.

Can anyone offer more insight into this issue?

Thanks,
