I'm on OS X 10.9 (though, it was the same in 10.8)

I'm trying to get display_errors set to On but can't figure it out. I didn't have a php.ini file in /etc so I copied /etc/php.ini.default cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini.

I then went into /etc/php.ini and uncommented the line display_errors and set it to On - display_errors=On. Saved the file and went to phpinfo().

For "Configuration File (php.ini)" Path it shows "/etc" and for "Loaded Configuration File" it shows "/etc/php.ini" so I assume that means it's using the correct php.ini file right?

But, when I scroll down in phpinfo() it shows "display_errors" as Off for both Local Value and Master Value.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another place I need to turn display_errors On? I'm using PHP 5.4.17

Edit: Forgot to mention that I've restarted apache several times with sudo apachectl restart and still no change.

Also, I found it weird that before I copied php.ini.default to /etc/php.ini, php was presumably using some default php.ini file but display_errors was still set to Off. Isn't that On by default?

    Are you sure that you don't have two lines (one that says Off and one that says On?) Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 17:21
  • In phpinfo, it should say where the configuration is being loaded from. Or, you can use the function php_ini_loaded_file to get the path. Is it pointing where you're expecting it to? Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 17:21
  • Oh geez...I feel stupid. h2ooooooo was correct, one was set to off later down the page. I guess I uncommented where it was just explaining values and not where it was actually set. All good now, thanks! Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 17:26

h2ooooooo got it figured out. I uncommented the wrong section to set it to On. It was turing back off later down the page. All good now.
