I install LAMP according this link. But I cannot find /usr/share/php5/php.ini-development file . My php is PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6 . Apache is Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) . I use ubuntu 12.04 amd64. How to know which is used development or production. Thanks

$ ls /usr/share/php5/php.ini* -l

    diff /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development

    If this command returns nothing, then your PHP uses dev configuration.

    diff /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /usr/share/php5/php.ini-production

    If this command returns nothing your PHP uses production configuration.

    If you want to use dev configuration,

    sudo cp /usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

    If you want to use production configuration,

    sudo cp /usr/share/php5/php.ini-production /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

  2. Using apt-file I get the following:

    $ apt-file search php.ini-development
php5-common: /usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development

    So check if you have that package installed (if you have PHP installed you should) and check if that file is what you are looking for.

  3. This is the exact syntax to be typed as below:

    First backup your original "php.ini" file using the command in terminal window as below:

    $ sudo mv /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.bak

    then copy development version of php.ini to the original php.in by the below command:

    $ sudo cp /usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

    then now check if the development version of php.ini is running by the below command:

     $ diff /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /usr/share/doc/php5-common/examples/php.ini-development

    If no response comes then the development version of php.ini settings are current and running else the production version is still running. That's it !!
