All I can think of is that you have more than one version of PHP installed, and it's looking in a non-standard place for the php.ini - possibly under /usr/php-version or /usr/local/php-version. Try a file search on your system, and see how many php.ini files you can find there. Eg. [root at karsites ~]# locate php.ini /downloads/php-src/5.2.1/php-5.2.1/php.ini-dist /downloads/php-src/5.2.1/php-5.2.1/php.ini-recommended /downloads/php-src/5.2.4/php-5.2.4/php.ini-dist
