Re: Where is php.ini located by default?

If I'm not mistaken, the "locate" command uses a cache which is only updated every 24 hours or so. You can either recreate locate's cache by reading locate's man pages, or you can actually search the filesystem by using the following commands: cd / (go to the root directory) find . -name php.ini The last command actually searches the filesystem at the time the command is executed, instead of relying on a cached database like the locate command. Of course, if the file has been on your system for a while and has not recently changed location, you should probably use locate because the search will be faster. Also, another tip: To make sure you know where the configuration file is going to be, compile PHP with this option: ./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd (or wherever you would like to place your file.)
