Ok, probably could have found this myself if I had a way to search the forums but there isn't an obvious way to do that and I don't want to scroll through thousands on posts hoping to find one simple little thing so...  here is the lame duck question of the day:

I am getting the following message:

  • Your PHP session.entropy_length setting is too small. Set it to at least 16 in your php.ini to ensure that generated session IDs are random and unpredictable enough.

Where is the php.ini file located?

The php.ini file is your system's configuration file for PHP. Its exact location will depend on your operating system and how it's configured.

If you don't know where it is, you can find out by doing "php --ini" at the command line or looking at the output of the PHP command "phpinfo();". See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8684609/dude-wheres-my-php-ini

Cheers,
