PHP 4.0 Bug #6166: php.ini not being read

From: dramaley@spatulacity.cx Operating system: RedHat Linux 6.2, kernel 2.2.16 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: php.ini not being read I compiled PHP as an Apache module. It seems to work OK, but only with the compiled-in default values; php.ini has no effect. I used the following when i did the PHP configure: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/php.ini --with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.12 --enable-track-vars phpinfo() shows the ini file being /etc/httpd/php.ini (as configured), but changes to that file are not being read, even after restarting the web server. Other people i've asked for help on this issue have encountered a similar problem and have worked around it by setting lots of php variables in httpd.conf, but it is my understanding that php.ini should be read (otherwise what is the point of having it?) and such hacks should not be necessary. Thanks for the great work so far.
