DETAILS:

NOTE:

To edit your php.ini you will need to login via SSH as the root user.

The most common parameters changed in the php.ini file are:

safe_mode
register_globals
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
max_execution_time

Use the following command at the command prompt to start editing:

vi /etc/php.ini

If you have upgraded to PHP5 the ini is located at /opt/php51/etc/php5/fastcgi/php.ini If you are looking for a specific parameter and would like to go straight there, type the following:

vi +/parameter /etc/php.ini

vi +/safe_mode /etc/php.ini

/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start
