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-fp

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

• 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

• To specify a custom php.ini with NginX check this link

• As you pointed out you can use a CLI directive to choose a different php.ini as well

Answer 3

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~
