RE: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking

RESOLVED. Problem was that apache was not reloading configuration files when apachectl restart was issued. Manually sent kill -HUD [apache pid#], then started apache with apachectl start. register_globals is now on (again this is a local intranet secure from the outside world - "off" is the normal desired option). The problem was complicated by an .htaccess file which contained this line: php_value register_globals on For reasons unknown this caused the local setting of register_globals to be "off" (the global setting was "on"). After deleting the .htaccess file the local setting of register_globals matched the global setting. Thanks for any and all pointers along the way.
