How to edit php.ini by using SSH (putty)?

Hello everyone,

I did search in google but still I don't know howto do it, here are my step


I press Enter

Enter again!

In this page I don't know what to do, help please!

I want to turnoff 'open_basedir'

 

hahaha

Know i know why i couldn't edit i was trying scrol down with my mouse now i know i have to press down by using keyboard. lol

 

nano is the best editor for me not vim.

To enable base_opendir, just remove ;

 

Press "down key" or "pg dn" to scroll down. Or the best idea is to use cuteftp type client and login to root using sftp and edit in windows environment.

 

To delete a single character at cursor x
Insert text before the cursor i
Insert text after the cursor a
Insert text at start of line I
Insert text at end of line A
Exit ESC :q
Exit saving changes :wq

You can use vi on each linux system, but you can not install something else evrytime you want. Try to learn it. You can find manual in Google.

 

Next Time use WinSCP http://winscp.net/

 

You could also use midnightcommander.That is a powerful tool for editing via putty.I used it a lot of times.
If you have installed it just key in mc and press enter then you have your graphical interface.Is good for newbies.

 

For vi/vim:

Search for a string:
/stringname

So, for instance, to search for "base_opendir", just type:
/base_opendir

Then, remove the ";" before that line (position your cursor on the ";", hit escape (to get you out of insert mode, if you are already in insert mode), then press "d", and the right arrow key on your keyboard.

Finally, hit ":wq"
this writes your changes to the PHP file and exits.
