php.ini removed

[Scott Haneda]

Why did moving it break things is I think what first needs to be  
learned.

Why was ini put in a php5 directory? As far as I know php wants to  
look in some standard locations. /etc is one if them so that would  
translate to /opt/local/etc/php.ini.

Of cource there are a few other locations but I believe etc is pretty  
normal. I think it should have just kep working. Any idea why it did  
not work for you? What did you have to change to get it to work?

You can also run 'port contents portname' to see where all the files  
registered to that port are.
