Cant access php.ini file, is there some cPanel restrictions?

condoace · 02-28-2010, 11:27 AM

I am having a really annoying problem. I have a VPS service, not shared.

I am trying to access my php.ini file though PuTTy and the location is /usr/local/lib/php.ini

I do the following command

pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini

the file seems to be empty, all that is brought up:

date.timezone="America/Denver".

Any ideas, I really need to access it and change some settings!!

You could make sure that isn't the only php.ini file on the system. Some systems will not use the /usr/local/lib/php.ini and instead use something like /etc/php/php-apache/php.ini. To find out try the following:

Code:

find -type f -name 'php.ini'

.

P.S. cPanel does things really strangely.
