[PHP-INSTALL] php.ini not read?

[brian]

phpinfo() says: "configuration file path /apps/local/php5/lib"
phpinfo() also says: "loaded configuration file: (none)"

i'm sure this has to be in a faq somewhere... can someone point me at it?
i'd like to get php to read the php.ini in the config file path.

thanks in advance,
b

Hi Brian,

this line
configuration file path /apps/local/php5/lib"

Indicates that it is looking for a php.ini in /apps/local/php5/lib/
but the next line indicates that it didn't find one. Try doing a
search on your machine for php.ini, you will likely find ones
like these
/usr/local/src/php-5.2.5/php.ini-recommended
/usr/local/src/php-5.2.5/tmp-php.ini

Copy one to the aformentioned directory, rename it to php.ini,
edit it to your needs, and restart your webserver


best of luck
paul

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply. I guess I should have said that the php.ini
is indeed in the stated configuration file path.

Some more info would be helpfull please Brian.

What OS are you running on?

Did you compile PHP yourself, or is it pre-compiled?

Kind Regards,

If you're on a box with sufficient dev tools, strace can help.

strace php -v

Will yeild a lot of output, including:
open("/usr/local/bin/php-cli.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/php-cli.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/usr/local/bin/php.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/php.ini", O_RDONLY) = 3

to tell you where it is eventually looking for the file. In my case,
as we can see on the last
line, it found it in "/usr/local/lib/php.ini"
