PHP and PEAR and MySQL Setup on Apache

Re: PHP and PEAR and MySQL Setup on Apache

PHP only uses one php.ini file at the time, and both of the ones you
are editing may be wrong. Look for the PHPIniDir setting in your
Apache conf\httpd.conf file. I think it should be near the end.

Ex:
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

MIke:

Thanks for the reply -- entire disk scan and no .;C:\PHP5\PEAR -
anywhere, including the Windows registry! My conf\httpd.conf file is
good, too - PHPIniDir is what I want -- C:\Program Files\PHP.

Where PHP is getting its include_path is a complete mystery to me!

Any additional thoughts appreciated -- thanks.

The PHP installation works fine. I can put PHP files under the Apache

And which php.ini file does phpinfo() say it's using?

Jerry:

I am starting Apache from a console (if that has anything to do w/
it). phpinfo() tells me:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS

There is no php.ini file in the C:\windows path whatsoever.

Also, some other settings:

extension_dir C:\php5 C:\php5 (directory does not exist)
include_path .;C:\php5\pear (already described above)
PHPRC C:\Program Files\PHP\
PHP_PEAR_BIN_DI R C:\Program Files\PHP
PHP_PEAR_DATA_D IR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\ data
PHP_PEAR_DOC_DI R C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\ docs
PHP_PEAR_INSTAL L_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BI N C:\Program Files\PHP\.\php .exe
PHP_PEAR_SYSCON F_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP
PHP_PEAR_TEST_D IR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\ tests

Any help appreciated... Thank you...

OK, so it's using the default settings.

Also, some other settings:

Put a php.ini file with the settings you want in your c:\windows directory.

Alternatively, you can do things like modify the registry to place the
file anywhere you want. But for now just put it in c:\windows until you
get things working.
