I've built from source php + php-fpm + nginx few times.
I'm used to keep everything inside /usr/local
Hovewer php-fpm config file php-fpm.conf is always loaded from /etc/
Of course I can change the location with the -y directive when php-fpm is started but I'd prefer to have a different location by default.
Is there any way to do this?
Does the default location depends upon a directive set when running ./config before the actual build?
Performing a multi-file search on PHP's sources and build files reveals that
php-fpm.conf location is determined by the compile-time option
--sysconfdir=/path/to
specified when invoking ./configure
You can compile php with the --with-config-file-path=PATH compile-time option.
For your reference PHP Compile-Time Options
You can use a custom php.ini file using a .htaccess with Apache adding le line
SetEnv PHPRC /location/todir/containing/phpinifile
As you pointed out you can use a CLI directive to choose a different php.ini as well
actually the real reason is you used the old TARed php source code,
you should RM the old TARed php source one and re-Tar xvf php-version.tar.gz,
lastly, configure it and so on. you can try it if you don't believe it~
