Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7735 Updated: php.ini is not setup

Thanks for the quick reply; I discovered that I didn't use the installer, which is why none of those items happened. (I used the zip, php-4.0.3pl1-Win32.zip) The php.ini file I used was php.ini-dist. Sorry about that; my bad. In my own defense, it was my first windows install of php. :) The only change then that I might suggest would be changing the session.save_path to something other than /tmp for win32 systems in the default php.ini* files. Maybe "c:/temp"? I'll have to give the installer a try sometime. :) I used the zip because I wanted support for ISAPI, which I found too unstable for my needs. (yes, I did read the ugly disclaimer, and yes it crashed my iis service quite a few times before I gave up) Best Regards, Eric Johanson On 10 Nov 2000, Bug Database wrote: > ID: 7735 > Updated by: phildriscoll > Reported By: ericj@cubesearch.com > Status: Open > Bug Type: Feature/Change Request > Assigned To: > Comments: > > This is precisely what the php installer does!
