(Write here your question/remark)
Hello,

I am trying to transfer an installation from one server to another.  The instructions mention transferring php.config separately but I am unable to find this file.  The OS is Centos 7.  Does this file have a different name for linux?  Thanks.

The file is called config.php. Try to search for that.

Should be in application\config\ or something.
