Bug #60254 [Com]: PHPIniDir format incorrect

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60254&edit=1 ID: 60254 Comment by: agvulp-forums at yahoo dot com Reported by: p dot duda at lumasenseinc dot com Summary: PHPIniDir format incorrect Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Windows Installer Operating System: Window 7 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Assigned To: jmertic Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Confirmed. I just installed Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.8 in Windows. The PHP installer asks for the location of the Apache httpd.conf file, so it can amend these lines to the end of it. #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL PHPIniDir "C:\PHP\" LoadModule php5_module "C:\WEB\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL However. Apache 2.2 (and others?) anticipates forward slashes instead of back slashes, and will transmogrify the two internally when it actually goes to read the file. (Apache literally replaces '\' with '/' and '/' with '\' when compiled for Windows.) Solution. The above line should be: PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/" Eric Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-09 20:56:17] p dot duda at lumasenseinc dot com Description: ------------ When installing php into a different directory on Windows the installer amends the httpd.conf file with the PHPIniDir using backslashes in the path. This renders the directive useless, and php looks for the ini file elsewhere. Changing the path to forward slashes resolves the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60254&edit=1
