Have you enabled shell access for the user you are using to log-in?
This can be done in the Web Admin Panel at Users -> Manage Users, clicking Edit on the appropriate user then ticking Enable ssh/telnet?.
Note, it can take a little time after making the change before SSH access is actually available for that user.

You won't find a php.ini file that you can edit enless you've installed it your self. And seeing as you just figured out how to log into SSH I'm almost positive you heavn't installed your own php yet.
There's easy to follow instructions in the wiki to help you install php4 or 5 your self - then you'll be able to edit your own php.ini file.

I'm wondering if your php script is still using /usr/bin/php.
Did you follow all the PHP and handler instructions from the wiki?

Can you create a test.php from the code below, run it from your browser and then post your results? (or just send us the link to your test.php)
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
