I have copied php.ini-dist to my /usr/local/lib directory and renamed it php.ini. Now I want to enable the session.auto_start directive so I opened php.ini in a text editor and changed its value from zero to 1. I saved the file and rebooted, but when I check phpinfo.php the session.autostart is still turned off. I then tried changing session.use_cookies but had the same result. It's just like my php.ini file is not being read. The path shown in phpinfo.php to the php.ini file is correct as /usr/local/lib/php.ini so I am stuck. Any help to get this resolved would be much appreciated. Thanks.
