php.ini question

    I’m having problems uploading pictures. I’ve tried all the suggestions I’ve found on these forums. Nothing has resolved the “failed to write to disk” error.
    I asked my host, Verio, were I could find and edit the php.ini. They replied by creating a new php.ini file in my root directory. I changed the upload directory in that file to /tmp as suggested. However, I’m thinking the new php.ini file isn’t what I needed to edit. Should there be another php.ini file I should be editing? If no, is there somewhere else the php.ini file should besides the root directory?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No.

    is there somewhere else the php.ini file should besides the root directory?

    To be clear, in this case, the root directory is where your web-accessible files are.

    For instance, upon using an FTP client to access their files, some people are “logged into” a directory that has logs/ public_html/ and other stuff. In that example, your custom php.ini goes inside the public_html directory.

    Here’s another way of explaining that, if WordPress is installed at the root of your domain, put the php.ini in the same directory as your wp-blog-header.php

    What I am trying to emphasize is the difference between root directory as in /home/username/ and root directory as in /home/username/www or /home/username/public_html

    The php.ini file was in the “/www” directory. I moved it to the “/htdocs” directory which has my WordPress folders/files (wp-blog-header.php, etc). I tried clearing the js_cache and browser cache and am still not able to upload.

    Any other thoughts?
