interesting php.ini problem

Post by Charles256 »

my phpinfo shows me the path to php.ini obviously, however, when I go there the file is blank. I'm on SuSE10..any ideas what's going on?

it hasn't found a php.ini to load so it pulls up the default internals.

It's not easy but there is only one way to learn.

Some useful commands...

>updatedb // updates locate
>locate php // to find something
>rpm -qa | grep php // finds installed packages
>rpm -e packagename // uninstalls a package (I believe it's e, might want to check)
>man commandname // read the manual for a command

Hope that helps..

Edit: Some of these won't work on Suse, might want to try Fedora or Ubuntu until you get the hang of it.

Didn't SuSE recently release an update that broke PHP? I'm pretty certain I heard something big about this in the past week????

after careful thought..i'm re-installing ubuntu..only reason I Uninstalled it is becauser I thought I couldn't install something which I quickly learned to install on SuSE and I know it can be done on ubuntu so back I go.. : whimpers : windows so much easier...
