Apache not working when creating /etc/php.ini on OS X El Capitan?

Question

PHP

The default apache that comes pre-installed on OS X El Capitan stops working with php when created in /etc php.ini. Restarting apache doesn't help. I tried to connect another version of php from homebrew, it doesn't want to work either.
Checked with several scripts and phpinfo();

Answer 1

What's in the Apache logs?
How exactly does it stop working, just doesn't start or shows 5x errors?
