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

ID: 31867 User updated by: php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com Reported By: php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Linux 2.6 PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: 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. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-08 22:20:11] tony2001@php.net Please check if your Apache's user (I bet it's "nobody") has all necessary privileges to read the ini file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-08 22:13:23] php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com Update: even with --with-config-file-path=/home/pwhite/my_php5/lib, my file is still ignored. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-07 07:12:32] php at pwhite dot mailhaven dot com 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-07 06:06:57] rasmus@php.net Use --with-config-file-path=/home/pwhite/my_php5/lib when you build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-07 05:22:38] 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31867&edit=1
