I am trying to install magento, here I came up with renaming a file name php.ini.sample to php5.ini. When I checked whether the file is reading or not I created a info.php file and uploaded to the server. Now the information shows as below:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path   /etc/php54.ini.d/
Loaded Configuration File   /etc/php54.ini.d/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php54.d

etc/php54 is a server ini file. My file resides in the home/public file. The Scan this dir for additional .ini files dosent scan my php5.ini file I created and uploaded on the server. I am on a shared hosting plan 123-reg.co.uk. How do I turn things around here?

You cannot. The directory will be set during compilation (--with-config-file-scan-dir option). See http://php.net/manual/en/function.php-ini-scanned-files.php for more information.

Try to use .user.ini files (http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php) or php_value and php_admin_value with .htaccess.

But remember: You cannot change everything, see http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php for details.
