ID: 43106 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: poletto at jeuxvideo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Can not reproduce -> bogus. (if you get time to investigate more, email me) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-26 11:54:17] poletto at jeuxvideo dot com Ok, that's strange. Maybe it's because several php installations have been made over the time on this server.. I don't really have time to look deeper in this, sorry. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-26 10:09:55] jani@php.net You must be doing something wrong or just overlooked something since this works just fine for me: Configure Command => '../../php-5.2/configure' '--prefix=/opt/php52' Server API => Command Line Interface Virtual Directory Support => disabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /opt/php52/lib Loaded Configuration File => /opt/php52/lib/php.ini PHP will use that path mentioned in the phpinfo() output if there's usable php.ini in it. Make sure you're using "clean" sources when you build PHP and before you install it, shutdown apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-26 08:23:05] poletto at jeuxvideo dot com Yes > ls -la /usr/local/php5/lib/ total 60 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 26 10:16 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 .. drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48618 Oct 25 18:30 php.ini > ls -la /usr/local/php5 total 24 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 25 19:05 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 include drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 25 18:33 lib drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 23 14:27 man (i've checked parent directories too) I've found a temporary workaround : it seems that php still checks php.ini in /usr/local/lib (which is the path for the default prefix). It works if i put my php.ini there (but it's not there i intend to put it). I've tried to specify /usr/local/php5/lib for the configuration path or for the directory in which php should look for configuration files : it changes nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-26 08:06:47] jani@php.net Is that path readable by the user as what Apache runs as? Check the permissions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-25 17:11:26] poletto at jeuxvideo dot com Description: ------------ php.ini is not found when specifying an alternate installation PREFIX (/usr/local/php5). phpinfo() says configuration path is in /usr/local/php5/lib, so i've put a php.ini there (i've tried some differents php.ini). phpinfo() says it didn't load any php.ini (and the changes to variables are ignored). Yes i've restarted apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43106&edit=1
