 106 <p>PHP settings are defined in:</p>
 107 <ul>
 108 <li>a main configuration file, usually found under <code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code>; some distributions provide different configuration environments, e.g.
 109 <ul>
 110 <li><code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code> - used when running console scripts</li>
 111 <li><code>/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini</code> - used when a client requests PHP resources from Apache</li>
 112 <li><code>/etc/php5/php-fpm.conf</code> - used when PHP requests are proxied to PHP-FPM</li>
 113 </ul></li>
 114 <li>additional configuration files/entries, depending on the installed/enabled extensions:
 115 <ul>
 116 <li><code>/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini</code></li>

 131 <li><code>/var/www/test/phpinfo.php</code></li>
