Check that there is the php.ini listed if not you will have to ask your hosting provider where it is.
3. “vi php.ini”
Find the bit in php.ini you would like to edit.
4. “i” – This enables you to edit the php.ini file
5. After changing the file, please Esc.

Hi, just a small query. Will this change erase the contents on the server? Do I have to reinstall the website again after finishing the steps and restarting the server or will the steps stated by you will have no effect on the contents, database etc, but will only modify the php.ini file as desired?
Many thanks in advance

Hi, being a windows techie i hadn’t a clue how to edit the PHP.ini. It took me ages to your so user friendly way to find and edit the file. Although I want to become more familiar with Linux I find most of the info from competant users over techie. They give an answer but without the ‘how to do’. So a big thanks, keep up the good work.
P.S. I’m book marking your site for future answers.
