phpinfo disabled but it's not in disable_functions

[smatt]

Hi all,

I've removed phpinfo from the disable_functions in the php.ini file (done through WHM's PHP config editor).

I go to the phpinfo page but it still says it's disabled. I restarted Apache, no change. I rebooted the server, no change. phpinfo is not listed in disable_functions (after reboot). Is there another setting somewhere to enable/disable this?

And on a related note but different note, I'm a little confused as to what should be in the disable_functions list. Most guides/tutorials say to put ini_set in there, but then common CMSs like Drupal won't work. Enable it on a per account basis, or for just within their own environment without opening a security risk?

Any help on either appreciated.

Did you disable it in the correct php.ini file? Please check phpinfo() for the exact location of that file.

I can't check phpinfo(), it is disabled...!

I'm trying to enable it. I removed it from disable_functions using WHM's PHP Configuration Editor. Verified the change was saved on CLI with grep phpinfo /usr/local/lib/php.ini - no result.

Sorry smatt, I thought it was the other way around. php.ini is usually located @ /usr/local/lib/

^ No problem. Any ideas on how to fix?

You may need to view the php.ini file manually (via vi or pico) to see if it's actually overwritten. Sometimes there are multiple lines of disabled_functions

Yes I thought that might be the case too - checked for that, only one disable_functions row, phpinfo is definitely not there.

This has been resolved. Quirks of CageFS. After making a change to php.ini you have to force an update.
