Unable to change upload_max_filesize and post_max_size

I finally figured it out thanks to this:

http://blog.inuar.com/en/node/174

I just had to do this:

sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

Then restart apache, change the values, restart again and it worked.

I did mdfind php.ini | grep /etc and it only found:

/private/etc/php.ini.default

/private/etc/php.ini

Doing mdfind php.ini | grep php.ini returned:

/private/etc/php.ini.default

/private/etc/php.ini

/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/php.ini

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini.temp

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/conf/php.ini.temp

Without grep it returned a huge list of stuff, including stuff in Mail that didn't really have php.ini in it.

I'm going to try to uninstall MAMP and see if that fixes the problem. I doubt it cause MAMP runs from a different location, but it's worth the try. Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know what happens.

I've removed MAMP and I the only php.ini files are:

locate php.ini

/private/etc/php.ini

/private/etc/php.ini.default

When changing the values for upload_max_size, file_uploads, or post_max_size values don't change in phpinfo();

cat /etc/php.ini.default | grep -E -i -w 'file_uploads|upload_max_filesize|post_max_size'

post_max_size = 8M

file_uploads = On

upload_max_filesize = 2M

cat /etc/php.ini | grep -E -i -w 'file_uploads|upload_max_filesize|post_max_size'

post_max_size = 8M

file_uploads = On

upload_max_filesize = 5M

phpinfo:

Even if I turn off file_uploads, then restart apache the value doesn't change.

Any other ideas?
