#31867 [NEW]: PHP does not read my php.ini which is in "Configuration File (php.ini) Path"

From: php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com Operating system: Linux 2.6 PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: PHP does not read my php.ini which is in "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" 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. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31867&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31867&r=mysqlcfg
