#33571 [NEW]: PHPIniDir directive appears to be ignored

From: colin at encode dot net dot au Operating system: Windows XP Professional SP2 PHP version: 5.1.0b2 PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related Bug description: PHPIniDir directive appears to be ignored Description: ------------ Hello, I understand this is a beta version of PHP but felt I should report that it appears the PHPIniDir Apache configuration directive is ignored by this release of PHP. I installed PHP according to the install.txt instructions and configured the httpd.conf of Apache 2.0.54 using the directives below: # # Load PHP5 module: # LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2.dll" # # To use PHP scripts: # AddType application/x-httpd-php .php # # Define php.ini path: # PHPIniDir "C:/PHP" To begin with I renamed the "php.ini-recommended" file to "php.ini" within the "C:/PHP" folder. PHP would not load correctly however, and upon accessing a phpinfo test page within the browser I would receive the PHP code itself within the browser window, i.e: <?php phpinfo(); ?> ...would appear in the page source. I also tried adding the PHP path to the "path" and "PHPRC" environment variables with no success. Upon removing the php.ini from "C:/PHP", PHP appeared to load but would report "C:\WINDOWS" in the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" field of the phpinfo() output. Note, there is no php.ini file in "C:\WINDOWS". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33571&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33571&r=mysqlcfg
