Analyze All Domains - Comprehensive server-wide analysis 2. Analyze Single Domain - Per-domain analysis 3. Show OPcache Statistics - OPcache performance metrics 4. Optimize Domain - **Main action menu with apply workflow** 5. View PHP Error Logs - Error log viewer with filtering 6. PHP Version Summary - Version distribution report 7. Find Configuration Files - Config file discovery tool 8. Backup Configurations (b) - Manual backup creation 9. Restore from Backup (r) - Rollback capability 0. Quit **Option 4 Workflow** (Optimize Domain): 1. Select domain from list 2. Display current configuration 3. Show recommendations with explanations 4. Ask: "Apply these recommendations? (y/n)" 5. If yes: Create auto-backup (timestamped) 6. Apply changes to PHP-FPM pool config 7. Ask: "Restart PHP-FPM now? (y/n)" 8. If yes: Gracefully reload PHP-FPM (zero downtime) 9. Verify service is running 10. Display backup location for rollback **Safety Features**: - User confirmation required for ALL changes - Auto-backup BEFORE any modifications - Graceful reload (not restart) for zero downtime - Verification that service is running after reload - Clear rollback instructions with backup location - No automatic changes without explicit approval ### Integration (December 3, 2025) #### Main Menu Integration **File**: `launcher.sh` **Location**: Performance & Diagnostics → Option 9 **Menu Path**: ``` Main Menu └─ (4) Performance & Diagnostics └─ (9) PHP Configuration Optimizer ``` **Changes Made**: - Added menu option 9: "PHP Configuration Optimizer" - Updated handler function to call `php-optimizer.sh` - Shifted existing options 9-11 to 10-12 - Validated syntax with `bash -n` ### Git Commits 1. **Phase 1**: Create lib/php-detector.sh (detection functions) 2. **Phase 2**: Create lib/php-analyzer.sh (analysis engine) 3. **Phase 3**: Create modules/performance/php-optimizer.sh (main script) 4. **Phase 4**: Implement backup/restore system with PHP-FPM restart 5. **Phase 5 & 6**: Implement apply/action menu with auto-backup and PHP-FPM restart 6. **Phase 7**: Integrate PHP Configuration Optimizer into main menu **Note**: Removed AI attribution markers from commits per user instructions. ### Documentation Created 1. `PHP_OPTIMIZER_PLAN.md` - Initial planning document 2. `PHP_METRICS_COMPREHENSIVE.md` - Comprehensive metrics tracking 3. `PHP_CONFIG_LOCATIONS_COMPLETE.md` - Config file locations by panel 4. `SESSION_SUMMARY.md` - Session work summary 5. `PHP_OPTIMIZER_COMPLETE.md` - Completion documentation 6. `DEVELOPMENT_LOG.md` - This file (NEW!) ### Testing Status - ✅ Syntax validation complete (all files pass `bash -n`) - ✅ Logic validation complete (division-by-zero protection, error handling) - ✅ Path resolution verified - ✅ Menu integration tested - ⏳ **Pending**: Live server testing with real domains ### Metrics Tracked **Per-Domain PHP Settings**: - `pm.max_children` - FPM process limit - `pm.start_servers` - Initial processes - `pm.min_spare_servers` - Minimum idle processes - `pm.max_spare_servers` - Maximum idle processes - `pm.max_requests` - Process recycling threshold - `memory_limit` - PHP script memory cap - `upload_max_filesize` - Upload size limit - `post_max_size` - POST data limit - `max_execution_time` - Script timeout - `max_input_time` - Input parsing timeout **OPcache Settings**: - `opcache.memory_consumption` - OPcache memory allocation - `opcache.interned_strings_buffer` - String storage buffer - `opcache.max_accelerated_files` - Cached file limit - `opcache.enable` - OPcache on/off - `opcache.revalidate_freq` - Cache validation frequency **Performance Metrics**: - OPcache hit rate (hits / (hits + misses)) - max_children error frequency (7-day history) - Active PHP-FPM processes - Memory consumption per process - Process manager type (static/dynamic/ondemand) ### File Statistics **Total Lines of Code**: 2,960 lines - lib/php-detector.sh: 428 lines - lib/php-analyzer.sh: 940 lines - lib/php-config-manager.sh: 509 lines - modules/performance/php-optimizer.sh: 1,083 lines **Total Functions**: 45 exported functions - php-detector.sh: 17 functions - php-analyzer.sh: 14 functions - php-config-manager.sh: 14 functions ### Future Enhancements (Planned) 1. **MySQL Config Optimizer** - Similar system for MySQL/MariaDB tuning 2. **Redis/Memcached Setup** - Object caching setup scripts 3. **Apache/Nginx Optimizer** - Web server tuning (revisit later) **Not Planned**: - CDN integration (user declined) - SSL/TLS optimizer (user declined) --- ## November 21-30, 2025: (Previous Work - Need to Fill In) **TODO**: Document all work from November 21-30 including: - enable-cphulk.sh bug fixes (6 bugs fixed) - live-attack-monitor color code fixes - SCRIPT_DIR path calculation fixes - bot-analyzer optimizations - Any other modules created or modified --- ## November 20, 2025: (Last Documented Work) **TODO**: Pull from previous documentation what was done on this date. --- ## Development Guidelines ### Git Commit Messages - **NO AI attribution markers** (per user instructions as of Dec 3, 2025) - Remove "🤖 Generated with Claude Code" - Remove "Co-Authored-By: Claude " - Use clear, descriptive commit messages - Include technical details and impact ### Documentation Standards - Update DEVELOPMENT_LOG.md with EVERY change - Update README.md for user-facing features - Create detailed docs/ files for complex features - Track file statistics (lines, functions) - Document all git commits - Record testing status ### Code Standards - Follow CODING_GUIDELINES.md - Syntax validation with `bash -n` before commit - Export all library functions - Proper error handling and user confirmations - No automatic changes without user approval - Graceful service reloads (not restarts) --- **Last Updated**: 2025-12-03 21:45 UTC **Next Update**: After next development session
