SOLVED: Wordpress Webapp location of php.ini

Hi Everyone,
I'm setting up a wordpress site for development purposes. I'm trying to locate the php.ini file so I can increase the size limit for uploads. I did a search on the hda directory with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Best not to modify that file. You can apply the same settings by adding an .htacess file in the app directory or if one exists, add to it:
<Files *.php>
php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
</Files>
You can find location of files by doing this as root user:

Code: Select all

find / -name php.ini

Hi Bigfoot,

Thanks for the reply, just to confirm, would I put the file in the wordpress \var\hda\webapps\wordpress directory or the apps directory /var\hda\apps?

Can I just create a file using gedit and name it .htacess?

Thanks!

It would go in /var/hda/web-apps/wordpress/html directory where all the app files are located.

You can use any editor you choose to create it and ensure you set the ownership permissions to apache:users for the file or it will not work.

Thanks again for the help.

FYI I had a typo, it should be .htaccess not .htacess. I placed it in the wordpress webapp folder \var\hda\webapps\wordpress before I received your reply to see if it would work, and it did. I'll have to see if there are any issues and if I have to move it to the html folder.

Thanks again!
