ID: 8295 User Update by: bjoern@baer.main.de Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Description: absolute path in extension= directive in php.ini not recognized Works with extension_dir now, but the extension directive should care about an absolute path. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-03 10:17:25] stas@php.net Did you try using extension_dir directive? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-24 12:22:20] bjoern@baer.main.de Has it been fixed already now in CVS? (Can't test it at the moment) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-12-16 12:18:42] bjoern@baer.main.de Hi, we had our extension fastsearch.so in /etc/httpd and in /usr/local/lib/php.ini the following directive: extension=/etc/httpd/fastsearch.so PHP failed in loading this extension because it searched in: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-BUILDDATE//etc/httpd/fastsearch.so As a workaround, I made a symlink, but I wonder why PHP doesn't accept extensions having in another path than /usr/local/lib/php/extension/... ? TIA, Björn. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8295
