Is it possible to change the location of php.ini
to be used by Apache? When I did php -i | grep 'Configuration File'
, the result is:
Path => /usr/local/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php.ini
But the result of phpinfo()
is
Configuration File (php.ini) Path : /etc
I can copy over php.ini
from /usr/local/etc/
to /etc/
, but is it possible to change the php.ini folder?
I installed PHP using homebrew and I am using OS X Snow Leopard.
PHP uses different .ini
files when running via command line vs running as a web server module. When you grep the results of php -i
your getting the command line ini. It's good practice to have separate ini's for the two environments.
If you must change the directory PHP looks for the php.ini
file, you can use the PHPIniDir
in your web server conf file.
If you wish to just add additional directories to be scanned, you can set the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR
environment variable.
To Change php.ini file path we have to declare PHPINIDir in the apache configuration file 'httpd.conf' syntax for that is :
PHPINIDir "path_to_ini_file";
