Just a newbie question- what should I type after SSHing to edit php.ini? I'm using cPanel as the CP btw. Also, is restarting httpd the next step then to have the changes take effect?

Thanks,

First, make sure you're editing the correct php.ini because there will probally be a few.

View your phpinfo (upload a file with just <?php phpinfo(); ?> in it) and check the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" for the correct php.ini

then to edit:


pico -w /your/path/to/php.ini


ctrl + x to exit and save then restart apache to have the changes take effect:


/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart



* edit - you might want to backup the current file first incase you break something:

cp /your/path/to/php.ini /your/path/to/php.ini.bk
