even though php engine works (apache2.0.43 dso) it totally ignores php.ini settings. 

Specifical examples; when I change 
output_buffering to "On" or "4096" or "1" it simply stays as "0" (as viewed from phpinfo()) OR magic_quotes_gpc cannot be turned "Off" it stuck in "On" position. (i have also verified these by actual dependent script non-function so its not a phpinfo() problem)

Ive installed it as
'./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf/php.ini' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql' 

Even when I delete php.ini I get the same for phpinfo.  I have tried putting a file at /usr/local/lib/php.ini (the default location if you had not set it yourself) with the same result.

i have reinstalled apache once and php twice from scratch with same results!

Yes I do restart apachectl. And no I don?t have a problem with php.ini permissions as ive even tried chmod 777!

(apache 2.0.43 dso php4.3.0RC2 did not have this problem.)

Could you provide the output of phpinfo(); ?

Or better yet provide a link to a php page with this content on your server?

It would also help of you could start apache in single process mode (-X) and run it from within strace to see which files it tries to open:

strace /path/to/httpd -X

This should be the path to a directory in which to look for the php.ini:

--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf/

resolved - thanks! not a bug but unclear point.

the issue was due to 
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf/php.ini
instead of 
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf/
in the original configuration.

There is some confussion as the APXS binary itself (not the path) is pointed to where as its the path and not the file for php.ini.  

It might be a good idea to allow for various php.ini options by actually allowing for a name to be assigned alternative to php.ini.  for example php_12_12_2002.ini and
php_2_1_2002.ini etc..

It might also be a good idea to have a quick UNINSTALL document available (i couldnt find one). I can help out with this if needed.

regards.
omer.
