As you know Apache couldn't load curl modules, when its dll's are not in windows system dir even when your php path exists in system variable PATH. I want to ask,
why it could happen?
do you know other examples of same behavior, when you need to copy anything in win dir?
ps,
PHPIniDir "F:/php" <- is set
PATH=F:/php
php.ini is in F:/php and it successfully loaded
never copy php files to widows folder:
1.- Add php to windows PATH
2.- change extension_dir to FULL PATH
3.- see phpinfo for more information, paths etc...
4.- to add module:
extension = module_name.dll in php.ini
good luck

I tried different solutions suggested here, but still cannot find the file through cPanel on my live server.
I'm running
phpinfo();
And getting this result:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /opt/alt/php56/etc
I cannot find these folders: /opt/alt/php56
But I could find the etc folder, however the file is not there, and I made sure I checked "View hidden files" options
What else could be done?
enter in your server comand line: php -i to see all of your php's config and also in very first lines of this command output, location of your php.ini if you can't find file like php.ini in your output which may not happen make one with touch command and put your configuration in that file and reload server, depend on what you use (like fpm or ...).
Try this command and find the path of PHP
which php
try:
php --ini
it will print all config files locations
In WHM go to Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor and edit php.in for your PHP version.
OR edit: /usr/local/lib/php.ini
I just downloaded and installed the wamp server but the file php.ini file can not be found anywhere although the configuration page shows
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini
I was wondering if somebody knows the root cause.
Is it possible to get the file from somewhere for that version?
Yes, you can get that file really easy. It's a php configuration file. If you know your installed php version go to PHP net
and download it for your version.
In there you will find php.ini-production(production settings) and php.ini-development (development setting better suited for debugging). Pick one and rename it to php.ini (php as name for file and ini being extension). Now you are ready to go after you copy it to your installation folder.
Make sure to resart your server after applying the changes.
I am using PHP 5.5.25 with Apache 2.4 on Windows 7 x64 and I am unable to activate the cURL module. I have looked around and tried all I could think of. Please assist:
In php.ini, the line extension=php_curl.dll is active and the file php_curl.dll is present in the extensions directory C:\php\ext
In php.ini when I set extension_dir = ext, none of the extensions load. I get several messages when Apache starts, similar to Unable to load dynamic libraryext\php_openssl.dll- The specified module could not be found.
When I use the full path and set extension_dir = C:\php\ext, all the extensions load fine, except for cURL. I get the error: Unable to load dynamic libraryC:\php\ext\php_curl.dll- The specified module could not be found.
I have tried renaming the extension to php_curl.new.dll and adjusting php.ini but I get an error message about the new filename. I have also downloaded a fresh new copy of the DLL from windows.php.net, but that made no difference.
I have checked the file permissions for php_curl.dll (Right-click on the file >> Properties >> Security tab) and they are the same as the permissions for extensions that load successfully
I have copied and pasted libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from the PHP bin directory to the System32 and SysWOW64 directories as instructed by a response to this question
I am certain that I am editing the right php.ini since the PHP startup error messages changed when I changed the extension_dir value from ext to C:\php\ext as I explained above.
I have made sure to restart the Apache server between php.ini configuration changes.
If in a PHP script I execute var_dump(file_exists('C:\php\ext\php_curl.dll'));, I get boolean True so PHP can see the file!
What else could explain why the cURL module is not enabled?
I think you'll need libssh2.dll in your PATH too.
Credit goes to #Steven Hilder for pointing me in the right direction.
The problem was that Windows could not see libssh2.dll, another DLL that was in PHP's directory. Copying this file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and C:\Windows\System32, along with the other two DLL files from my OP (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll) worked.
I am uncomfortable with this solution though because when the time comes to update to a new PHP version I will have a harder time remembering to overwrite these DLLs with the new version.
Therefore, I decided to remove all 3 DLLs from the System32 and SysWOW64 directories. Instead, I just added the PHP bin directory to the Windows' PATH variable, so that the next time the OS is looking for a missing file, it will also look in that directory. This has the added bonus that if a similar problem with another DLL occurs, it will be resolved automatically.
To add the PHP bin to Windows' PATH:
From the Start Menu search bar, search for and select Advanced system settings
Click Environment Variables. Scroll down the list of System variables to select Path and click Edit... to open the current PATH setting
Append ;C:\php or whatever directory has php.exe to the current setting (semi-colon is used to separate paths).
on windows the cURL execution wants SSL certificate. may be because of that others error is showing.
Put the below code before curl_exec(curlHandle) to ignore checking for SSL certificate
//to ignore the SSL certificate in windows
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
While learning to set up php to be able to send mail I came across the need to edit the php.ini file. The problem is that when I go to <localhost>/~username/phpinfo.php it tells me it is located at /Library/Server/Web/Config/php however the Web directory does not exist on my server. So where is my php.ini file? I have looked at answers to the same question by others and still was not able to find it. If I need to create it, how do I go about doing that?
I am using a macbook pro as my server running Yosemite.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
So it looks like I found my php.ini file but it is not where php says it is looking phpinfo.php says its looking in /Library/Server/Web/Config/php should I copy the file to this location? also my file is actually named php.ini.default, does this need to be named as just php.ini?
execute this command
locate php.ini
This will give you a list of all files with names where 'php.ini' is a part of it.
E.g.
/etc/php.ini
/etc/php.ini.rpmnew
/home/myuser/mywebsite.com/demo/local_php.ini
...
I'd rather do this:
php -i | grep ini
It will give you the info for ini configuration in the php console client. If you are executing apache or nginx you can see all the PHP settings with
<?php
echo phpinfo();
I don't want to look like a noob, but this is really annoying me. Do you know where does the
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
pointing to?
./ points to the current directory.
Edit
I haven't found any definition of what the current directory is while parsing a php.ini file, this post suggests that it is relative to the php.ini files location.
Just adding in for future searches
Running phpinfo on the cli (php -a<enter>phpinfo();<enter>) gave me this among the output.
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/20131226 => /usr/lib/php/20131226
It appears that "current directory" is, as far as PHP is concerned, whatever directory "pwd" prints.
The easiest way to see this is to run php -r 'echo getcwd();'
I can also determine this is by typing zend_extension="xdebug.so" inside my php.ini . Next, I create two folders anywhere: One empty, and the other I copy my xdebug.so into.
When I open a terminal inside my empty folder and run php, it generates a warning about not being able to find xdebug.so. In contrast, if I open the terminal in the folder with the extension and run php at the prompt, there are no warnings.
I couldn't determine where this maps to when running php through apache. I tried the document root, HTTPD_ROOT, /usr/bin. Nothing. I'm making this note incase someone who knows more about apache can shed some light on this.
As far as, extension_dir's default location. That is compiled in. You can find the value for your extension_dir by finding the file build-defs.h. It's defined in the macro PHP_EXTENSION_DIR build-defs.h is created by a template file during the configure stage of compilation.
