I can run php scripts normally. But i need to change display_errors = on and install eaccelerator. So i created a page with phpinfo() to find out where is php.ini. I got this Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php/lib Loaded Configuration File (none) It seens like php.ini is not being loaded. What can i do?

You have told configure to install php in: {$prefix}/lib So, the default location for your php.ini when you compile from source code is: /usr/local/php/lib as mentioned in the above line:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path     /usr/local/php/lib

So, instead of putting php.ini in /etc/ folder, you need to move it to /usr/local/php/lib/ - then php will be able to find it and use it. Also, if you do decide to use PEAR modules, then the default installation for those will be under: {$prefix}/lib/php Most other stuff is put under the {$prefix}/lib subdirectory as well, including php dynamically loaded extension modules, when you compile php from source code.
