I have 6 websites (Wordpress & Moodle) running…all in production mode. there is only (1) php.ini & it’s in the root of OpenEMR. And that’s the one I affected. I have no “etc” folder. Why would that be? ---

Hi @barringer7777, so somehow display\_errors is turned on. Found this [thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44463884/php-fpm-7-1-6-doesnt-turn-on-display-errors) Might have a bad php install… ---
