Hi,

if you compiled php yourself the php.ini might not exist. The best way to solve that problem is to create a little php script that just contains

phpinf();

That will among many other things print the location where php searches for the php.ini file. You can then copy the php.ini-dist that comes with the source distribution of php to that location and rename it to php.ini. Then edit it to your needs 🙂

A few people have noticed their ini files are missing, I had the
same problem.

There is a seperate rpm with ini files and other bits

try this:
