Why does phpinfo() don't show changes to php.ini?

[Wales]

I've tried changing the files multiple times by removing semicolons and adding different directories.

I then restart apache.

Go back and look at phpinfo.....and....nothing changed!

Is there a special way to change it?

Did you change the right php.ini file? (The phpinfo() output should include an entry for which php.ini file it is using.)

[Wales]

I'm on a centos with plesk and changed the /etc/php.ini

Can't seem to find any in /var/www/vhosts/

[NogDog]

But what file does the phpinfo() output say it's using? It should be in the top block of the phpinfo() output, labeled "Configuration File (php.ini) path".

/etc/php.ini

That's the file I've been editing but does not show now results.

Have you reloaded Apache after you finish editing? I.e. shutdown and restart the plesk service.

Yup restarted server, restarted apache about a gazillion times. I've been constantly having issues with this server. I might just move.

I found the solution:

Plesk 8.3/PHP5.2.6

You must include this extension in your PHP build:
--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs

This will create a file called libphp5.so to this directory:
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/

From there restart apache:
apachectl restart

There u have it;) It's 3am here, I'm hitting the sack...
