Problem with php.ini

I have bought a LINUX dedicated server and am trying to install a script which uses curl the problem is curl is not enabled on the server, I know how to enable it(removing the ';') but i dont know where I can find the file nor how to edit it using ssh, I am completely new to linux, can anyone help me please?

 

problem 1 solved, found the place, any idea how to edit it?

 

You can edit linux files using the Vi editor.

You can find files by typing 'whereis' or 'locate'.

thx for the help is there a way to use ssh to edit the files?

 

If it is cPanel server then you will need to compile PHP with cURL. Simply uncommenting the line in php.ini may not work.
