[support] Database Drivers unreachable (dependecy hell)

[Jamie Holly]

Try:

php --ini

That will list all loaded configuration files.

If nothing is showing up, then you need to figure out where PHP was 
configured to look for configuration files when it was compiled.

php -i | grep Configure

Look for:

--with-config-file-path
--with-config-file-scan-dir

That will give you the direcories PHP is configure to look for the ini 
file in. If you can't find anything there, then you need to ask on the 
support list/forum for wherever you downloaded PHP from. This is one of 
those things that is very distribution dependent.
