What is the install location for a module?

[jeremyisherwood]

Hi I recently installed a module to track the shipment of goods to the customer. It all installed well but had a small problem. The writer of the module suggested putting in a php.ini file to solve it, but I can't get hold of him and I need to know where to install this .ini file?

 

Hope this is clear, btw the module is RoyalMail v3

The php.ini file should go to the root directory of your osCommerce installation. From there, it should control the functionality of the php scripting engine in your base catalog directory, and all subdirectories of it. Some hosting/server setups have a special directory for php.ini. You might try consulting your hosting company, or poking around to find an existing php.ini file.

 

IMPORTANT:

 

php.ini tells php how to work, and requirements may change from server to server. If everything has worked until this module was installed, you will be better off to use your existing php.ini, and edit it to make ONLY the change that is required by the module in question. You should also be prepared and have a backup of your current php.ini. It is not advisable just to upload a new php.ini without requisite knowledge.
