Hey everyone,

I don't know if anyone here has experience with Mac OS X Server 10.2.8 with PHP 4.1.2. I have a problem. I KNOW that Mac OS X Server's version of PHP does not come with a php.ini file, but I need to edit the UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE variable so Administrators on my site can upload videos. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Ryan

hi phizzlecom,
afaik, php.ini is not mandatory in mac os x.
anyway, we can still get the ini to work.
how about doing these following steps??

1.go to your php source directory
2.search for php.ini (it's usually located in /usr/bin/php.ini or /usr/local/bin/php.ini)
if it doesn't exist do step 3 and 4
3.search for php.ini-dist
4.copy the file to your binary directory
root@xxx:>cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/bin/php.ini
or
root@xxx:>cp php.ini-dist /usr/bin/php.ini
5.edit your php.ini

good luck!!

thanks for your response.

unfortunately, php.ini-dist doesn't exist either!!

what now?


thanks,

the file should exist. if it doesn't, it means that someone has deleted it, together with the installer file. as a workaround, check your current php version (php function: phpinfo()), get the source file. unpack it and then copy php.ini-dist. to the specified path. for simplicity, instead of getting the source, you can search php.ini file for mac in the internet..

ok, i downloaded my version of php and took the php.ini-dist file and renamed it to php.ini and put it in /usr/lib/php (php installation). i changed the php.ini values UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE and POST_MAX_SIZE to my values (50M, 80M) and then i restarted the ENTIRE server. phpinfo() did not pick up on this at all, and it still does not work. help!

did i miss anything?


thanks,

lol still have your apple care they might help you out with this issue (if you baught Mac OS X Server with support.. /shrug

[moronovich]

it shouldn't be put there. instead of /usr/lib/php/, move it into /usr/lib (or /usr/local/lib if you have local folder)
