When a Litespeed server is detected, it adds them both to the php.ini and the .htaccess file because some Litespeed installations use Apache-style configuration directives (`php_value`) rather than PHP INI files. * Thread Starter [stathis_k91](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stathis_k91/) * (@stathis_k91) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-connect-php-ini/#post-5625323) * Hi, * it is a shared hosting, the .htaccess file has the default wordpress, PHP Version 5.4.29 LiteSpeed V6.7 Loaded Configuration File /usr/local/lib/php.ini * what do you suggest because my site always been in a brute force attack, * Thanks, Stathis * [churva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/churva/) * (@churva) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-connect-php-ini/#post-5625326) * ‘what do you suggest because my site always been in a brute force attack,’ * Just want to throw it out there – If your code (WP, plugins, etc) is always up- to-date, there’s also a slight possibility that the shared server might have been compromised.
