PHP not reading PHP.INI file

[pablogosse]

Hi all. I'm running PHP under RedHat 8.0 and for some reason it doesn't seem to be picking up the php.ini file.

I changed some settings in php.ini and then restarted, but the changes didn't take effect.

I then searched the entire filesystem for php.ini and found only the one in /etc/ which is the one I was editing.

I then renamed that file to foobar.ini and restarted, and much to my surprise php pages still served up fine, even though phpinfo() said my php.ini file was /etc/php.ini and that file didn't actually exist.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

Huh. As I understand PHP uses default INI options, if it can't find php.ini...

try putting the php.ini file in /usr/local/lib/ directory.
thats where my php.ini file is.
