Topic: Edit php.ini to turn on display_errors?

[phil]

Is there a way I can safely alter the PHP configuration file to turn on the display_errors feature?

I did locate php.ini on my e-smith box but it showed up several template files, -

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/20ResourceLimits
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/00PHP
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/70DynamicExtension00
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/10LanguageOptions
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/30ErrorHandling
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/40DataHandling
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/60FileUploads
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/65FopenWrappers
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/70DynamicExtension30imap
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/70DynamicExtension50ldap
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/70DynamicExtension70mysql
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/80ModuleSettings
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/template-begin
/etc/php.ini

I'm unsure which file to edit and I don't want to mess anything up...

SME Server 6.0, PHP 4.1.2

It should be in

30ErrorHandling file

Cheers, I've changed this file, but I'm not sure if it's had any effect. Do I need to restart Apache (or the machine)?

Loading up a PHP file with phpinfo(); in it shows that display_errors is still Off.

In order to activate your change(-s)

Generate new PHP.INI file
# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini

Load your new PHP settings
# service httpd restart
