If I'm not mistaken, the "locate" command uses a cache which is only updated
every 24 hours or so. You can either recreate locate's cache by reading
locate's man pages, or you can actually search the filesystem by using the
following commands:
cd / (go to the root directory)
find . -name php.ini
The last command actually searches the filesystem at the time the command is
executed, instead of relying on a cached database like the locate command.
Of course, if the file has been on your system for a while and has not
recently changed location, you should probably use locate because the search
will be faster.
Also, another tip: To make sure you know where the configuration file is
going to be, compile PHP with this option:
./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd (or wherever you would like
to place your file.)
