php.ini set up problem

[mike]

Hi,

I am very new to PHP I am having php.ini problems. I am working in XP
with IIS and have php installed as an ISAPI. I am trying to change
values in my php environment like 'upload_tmp_dir ',
'upload_max_fil esize'. I have scanned my computer and the only php.ini
file on the machine is in C:\Program Files\PHP. If I change entries in
that php.ini file and run phpinfo() it appears that the values are not
getting updated. This is still true after I start and stop the IIS server.

Also the phpinfo() reports my path to the php.ini file is c:\windows,
but there is no php.ini file in that directory. If I copy the php.ini
file to c:\windows and restart the server, then php breaks. I can not
run even simple scripts like phpinfo() or echoing. However if I just
change the name of the file to something like xphp.ini then php will
start working again.

Q1: where does php get its initial ini data if not from php.ini

Q2: why does php break when I copy the php.ini file to the directory
requested in its path.

Thanks
Mike

Still trying, Mike?

As I told you before - PHP has default values it uses if it can't find a
php.ini file. The easiest way for right now is to place a php.ini file
with the values you want in your c:\windows directory, then restart IIS.

If you're not going to follow suggestions, why do you even ask?

Re: php.ini set up problem

Hi,

It does sound like the installation was corrupted somehow. Are you
able to reinstall PHP using the package at php.net/downloads.php?

Hi John,

Thanks, thats the site where I got the original binaries from,
"php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi". The install went fairly smoothly.
I could try to reinstall. Are you using php on a windows system?
If so did you place the php.ini file in the c:\windows directory?

Thanks
Mike

My ini file is:
C:\Program Files\PHP\php.i ni

During various installs on XP the ini file has alwasy ended up in the php
drectory.

There is also an entry in my httpd.conf file:
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.d ll"

What do you mean by 'php breaks'? What does/doesn't it do?
The fact that putting the php.ini file in c:/windows affects operation
certainly proves that that is the correct place for it. Put a standard
php.ini file here then sort out problems from there.

I did indeed. I restarted the server and php stopped working. So I
uninstalled php, reinstalled but put the installation in C:/PHP instead
of C:\Program Files\PHP, put the php.ini file in C:\windows, restarted
the server. Now when I do a phpinfo() it is reading the file kind of.
phpinfo() shows that it is finding the file. It shows the proper
upload_tmp_dir. I can change some things like upload_max_file size in the
php.ini file that get picked up after restarting the server. However,
some things are not getting picked up like extension_dir is not getting
changed from the php.ini

One weird thing happened on the php reinstall. I made a vertual
directory for my php scripts under wwwroot. For some reason the
reinstall left a copy of php.exe in that directory. I used the
automatic windows installer file. Maybe I should do this manually.

looks like you are using a apache server. I do not see a httpd.conf
file in my PHP directory. Is that file specific to the apache install?
Where is the file located.

Thanks
Mike

Yes I am using Apache - it is in:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apac he2.2\bin

and httpd.conf is in:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apac he2.2\conf

I put the standard file that came with the install there. So it should
not have been corrupted but who knows. So I agree it looks like it was
going through its list of places to find the php.ini file and found
somthing in the windows directory. I seem to have gotten PHP to now read
the php.ini file (atleast partially) in the windows directory by doing a
php uninstall and a reinstall of php. This time I put it in a C:\PHP
directory as opposed to the installer default c:\Program Files
directory. Seems like other people have it working in Program Files.
When it was not workin I would get a short message in my browser that
said somethin like it could not make the reference call, no error
number. Sorry, I can not remember the exact message.

Thanks

I got the new installation to break. The old installation was in the
c:\Program Files\PHP\ directory. When I placed the php.ini file in the
c:\windows directory PHP broke. I was getting an error message that
said "The remote procedure call failed "

When I reinstalled I installed to the c:\PHP\ directory. I placed the
php.ini file back in C:\windows and all was well. Then I noticed using
phpinfo() that the extension_dir was set to C:\Program Files\PHP, which
was now a none existant directory. So I changed the value in php.ini to
point to C:\PHP, the new directory. PHP immedialy choked again giving
the same "The remote procedure call failed " errors. When I changed the
extension_dir back to C:\Program Files\PHP, al was well again.

Im not sure what is going on but I think something is wrong with the
extension directory. If php makes a call to an existing extension
directory it dies. However if the directory does not exist, then it lives.

Just a guess anyway. However, the scripts I have written are so simple
I am not sure why php would look in the extension directory anyway.

Jerry,

When I installed php the installer gave me the option to load a list of
extensions, I just loaded everything. So my C:\PHP\ext directory is
packed with .dll files. I do not know exactly what php uses, but right
now I probably do not need any of them. All I know is that if I change
the extension_dir from c:\Program Files\PHP\ext (a non-existant
directory) to C:\PHP\ext (an exsisting one) simple PHP scripts die with
"The remote procedure call failed " errors.

I also noticed that the include_path was also wrong so I changed it to
..;c\PHP\PEAR ( again I am not any were near to using PEAR stuff yet).
This change did not seem to break php.
