'''Configuration'''

After installation of ffmpeg-php, you need to edit php.ini and load ffmpeg-php module with "extension=ffmpeg.so"

For most servers, you will be able to find php.ini in one of the following locations

• /etc/php.ini
• /usr/local/lib/php.ini
• /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

To find extact location of php.ini on your server, run following command in ssh prompt/command line.

php -i|grep php.ini

After you find location of php.ini, edit the file with vi

You need to edit php.ini and set it to the folder on which ffmpeg.so is installed. This you will get while installation. On some servers, ffmpeg-php installation will set this, if not you need to it it your self.
