Because of email script installation my php.ini file location is changed. my phpinfo() is showing my loaded ini file location as /home/username/public_html/php.ini

Now i want to reload this file back to /usr/local/lib/php.ini

 

How to do this ? please help me

 

I am having root access to server

As I said, the location of your php.ini file is configured at compilation time. Are using cgi or something? You need to be allot more specific. This also doesn't belong under PHP Coding Help.

 

The email client script which I ware using was based on cgi.. But now I have uninstalled that script.. At the time of installation of that script the installer warned me that this will reload your php.ini

 

Also sory for posting topic here.

I dig into issue and studied apache documentations and found that suEXEC loads php.ini file from root of every user on server or VPS. if you make any changes in .htaccess regarding file upload limit etc server returns Internal Server Error. This problem can be solved by changing values in php.ini on root of respective user. but now a days newer versions of suphp do not allow changes in php.ini in root unless server administrator permits it from server root.

 

Server administrator can load different ini files per user adding following line inside httpd.conf <VirtualHost IP***> per user like 

 

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html/[iF ANY:subdomainfolder]/php.ini

 

Hope this information helps others who are dealing with php.ini issue on cpanel/WHM and suphp enabled servers.    8)

[NOT RECOMMENDED]

 

They should always load php.ini from non public accessible areas. like

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/php.ini
