 [2005-02-07 05:22 UTC] php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com
Description:
------------
My configuration line:
./configure --prefix=/home/pwhite/my_php5 --with-apxs2=/home/pwhite/my_httpd/bin/apxs --with-bz2 --with-pgsql

Here's what phpinfo() gives:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /home/pwhite/my_php5/lib

Yet my PHP installation does not recognize the file /home/pwhite/my_php5/lib/php.ini!

However, when I copy the file to /usr/local/lib/php.ini, it works.

Reproduce code:
---------------
My /home/pwhite/my_php5/lib/php.ini:

[PHP]
magic_quotes_gpc = off


Expected result:
----------------
I expect PHP to recognize /home/pwhite/my_php5/lib/php.ini.  I should not be expected to have write access to /usr/local/lib, since I installed PHP to a non-standard directory.

Use --with-config-file-path=/home/pwhite/my_php5/lib when you build.

Yes, I saw that option, but wouldn't you consider it a bug when phpinfo() displays a directory as THE "configuration file path", and yet when there's a valid configuration file in that directory, it does not read it?  If it only looks in /usr/local/lib for php.ini, why list /home/pwhite/php5/lib as the config file path?

Update: even with --with-config-file-path=/home/pwhite/my_php5/lib, my file is still ignored.

Please check if your Apache's user (I bet it's "nobody") has all necessary privileges to read the ini file.

Yes, the user "nobody" has read access to the file.  I verified it by doing `su nobody` (after changing its shell to bash) and by viewing the file.
