Here's a neat thing, if you run a phpinfo, it will tell you were to put your php.ini

The sixth line says

Configuration file (php.ini) path

If it says something like
/etc/php.ini

It means it found the file and is using it

if it says something like
/etc

It means it's looking in the /etc directory but not finding anything, so it's just using defaults.

I don't know.

I always compile PHP from source, but I also always specify --with-config-file-path=/etc as an option to configure.

If you can get it running, write a script that outputs phpinfo(). It will tell you where it expects the file to be. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Correction.

According to the output of "./configure --help", the default path for the config file is "PREFIX/lib", which I guess in your case would be "/usr/local/php/lib/php.ini" Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
