I've googled for the past 30 minutes with no solution. I even searched 'php.ini' and all I get is ini.php files in my whole localhost/htdocts/mysites directory where my joomla is currently installed. The most recent answer I've found on the joomla forum is in july 2011 but I can't find the php.ini file where the people are saying it is. I even tried checking the installation directory before deleting it and turning on hidden files all with no luck. I have to change the settings to I stop getting uneccessary php error messages like the following right after installation:

The php.ini file belongs to your server configuration and is not part of Joomla. It seems you are using XAMPP - the file should be in your C:\xampp\php directory if you have XAMPP >= 1.7.0 and in c:\xampp\apache\bin for older versions.

It should be found in xamppInstallationDir/PHP/PHP.ini for version 1.7.0 and above.

Whatever the case *, you can get informed for any php.ini files loaded by your Joomla instance in the backend. Simply go to System -> System Information -> PHP Information, where Joomla actually runs a phpinfo() function. There you will be able to find all relevant information about the PHP configuration of your server environment. Particularly for the php.ini you can look at these lines:

  • Configuration File (php.ini) Path
  • Loaded Configuration File
  • Scan this dir for additional .ini files
  • Additional .ini files parsed

*Unless phpinfo() is disabled in the server.
