Forcing adverts via apache configuration file

Question

I have a server I am trying to force adverts for free users. I can do it with a .htaccess file with this line "php_value auto_append_file '/var/www/vhosts/demoblog/demoblog.tk/httpdocs/test_ad.php'" but when I try to add it to the virtualHost it does nothing. I cannot see anything in the apache error log, and yes I do restart apache.

Any help would be great.

In order to use the php_value directive you must be running PHP in Apache as a module. You also need to set AllowOverride Options and AllowOverride All, otherwise the directive will be ignored.

See How to change configuration settings.
