Perhaps, rather than being overridden it is just not being found.

For me the output from phpinfo() usually shows "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" as "/etc/php.ini".  You have "/etc".

As a matter of style I prefer to change php setting on a per application basis rather than in the global ini file.  As a starting point I usually create a per application file under apache, like this: /etc/http/conf.d/myapp.conf

It contains things like:

Alias /myapp "/home/me/myapp/html/www"
<Directory   "/home/me/myapp/html/www">
	# Apache config stuff
	# ...

	# PHP config stuff
        php_flag  register_globals     off
        php_value memory_limit         32M
	# ...
</Directory>
