Where is the php.ini file on a Linux/CentOS PC?

I can't find PHP.ini location on my server. I've checked all Stack Overflow answers but I can't find my php.ini location.

I have Linux, Cent OS, zPanel. Last version of PHP.

My computer: Linux Mint 15 KDE.

Solution

  • In your terminal/console (only Linux, in windows you need Putty)

    ssh user@ip
php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

    And it will show you something like this Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php.ini.

    ALTERNATIVE METHOD

    You can make a php file on your website, which run: <?php phpinfo(); ?>, and you can see the php.ini location on the line with: "Loaded Configuration File".

    Update This command gives the path right away
