Hi,
I have got the same message on trying to configure the firewall settings.
‘
‘The auto_prepend_file PHP setting is currently in use, and is including this file:
/tmp/pre.php’
‘
I don’t recognise the file, so am not sure if I should proceed to the next step.
The site is hosted on a shared cloud hosting account.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Amanda
Hi all
I have the same issue. Like BrockleyJohn, I feel that /tmp/pre.php looks like something to get rid of, but I am not 100% sure.
Any advice would b much appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe raise the issue with your web host and find out what they are using the /tmp/pre.php file for?
In the end I raised the question with the web hosting service for the site (TSOHost) and they said I should proceed by including the file without overwriting the php configuration. So I went with the “Include this file (recomended)” option and it worked to configure the firewall for me.
Update:
In this case, I don’t think it was a general setting in the hosting as it hasn’t come up for any of the other clients’ sites.
The file in question didn’t actually exist (I wrote a couple of lines of php to echo the contents), so I decided to override it and everything has worked fine.
Update:
Thank you for the advice.
I also had a look at /tmp/pre.php and it didn’t exist on my config either. Then I noticed that LittleBirdWeb is also using TSOHost, so was intending to following their advice.
However, the firewall install process has been amended and I no longer get the option. The firewall is now detecting the server configuration more accurately. i went with the suggested configuration. My site is now working ok with the firewall active.
