at the bash prompt type "where is php.ini"
and it will tell you exactly where it's at.

| Hi,
|
| I can't believe I've never bothered to learn this stuff, so I apologise
for
| being totally dumb in advance :P
|
| phpinfo() tells me my php.ini is being read from /usr/local/lib, however,
| there's definitely NOT a php.ini file there.
|
| So, I went hunting and found this on
| http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php
|
| "
| 12. How do I know if my php.ini is being found and read? It seems like it
| isn't as my changes aren't being implemented.
|
| To be sure your php.ini is being read by PHP, make a call to phpinfo() and
| near the top will be a listing called Configuration File (php.ini). This
| will tell you where PHP is looking for php.ini and whether or not it's
being
| read. If just a directory PATH exists than it's not being read and you
| should put your php.ini in that directory. If php.ini is included within
the
| PATH than it is being read.
|
| If php.ini is being read and you're running PHP as a module then be sure
to
| restart PHP after making changes to php.ini
| "
|
|
| My questions are:
|
| 1. if there's no php.ini in /usr/local/lib, is php using a default set of
| settings, or another file (if so, where?)?
|
| 2. how do I tell php to look somewhere else, or is the solution to
| create/copy a php.ini into /usr/local/lib and restart apache?
|
|
| TIA
|
| Justin
