#35504 [NEW]: Can only use c:\windows for php.ini dir.

From: thejkwhosaysni at gmail dot com Operating system: win32 PHP version: 5.1.1 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: Can only use c:\windows for php.ini dir. Description: ------------ Since php5.1 I have been unable to use php.ini from any directory other than c:\windows. This is a pain because i have apache2 running as a seperate user which I don't really want accessing any directories than it needs to. php5.0.* worked fine with php.ini in the \apache2\ directory. I tried overwriting my original php.ini (from when i installed 5.0) with the php.ini-dist from 5.1.1 with no avail. php refuses to see that it's there. I also trid the \php directory with both my php.ini and the default php.ini-dist. Neither worked. I first noticed this with 5.1.0 and the problem is still present in 5.1.1 Reproduce code: --------------- I just extracted php5.1.0 into the directory that I had php5.0.* installed into. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35504&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35504&r=mysqlcfg
