Thanks in advanced Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-07 02:02:38] arturo_b at hotmail dot com When i ran phpinfo, its gave me a wrong address "c:/php5" value in extension_dir and none value in Configuration File (php.ini) Path, so it never loaded the extensions and connected to mysql; finally i tried adding a new variable named PHPRC with value "C:/PHP" in system environment variable, so windows should read the php.ini inside "C:/PHP" and it did work!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am running XP with IIS 5. I removed all traces of php.ini from my system and only left a copy in the root folder of my php 4 installation and phpinfo still said it found the php.ini file in my windows directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-03 15:24:11] t dot johnson at intercall dot ie I have incountered the same issue with php 5.1.2 and iis 6 on all 3 of our servers. The phpinfo() reports c:\windows as the location of php.ini on all installations which were manually configured. the error occurs on clean systems with nothin but OS, IIS and pho installed. Does anyone have any further info on this problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 00:00:04] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.
