Re: php ini not being read

do you have the php.ini path defined in httpd.conf? mark >>> "gjukema" <gjukema@vu-ware.com> 11-Mar-06 01:14:14 AM >>> I found a work around, but would still like to solve the issue. What I've done is make a php.ini symlink in the root filesystem pointing to the php.in file /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini. After restarting apache, phpinfo() now states that it's reading the /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini file. Any ideas how this is possible that it won't find the php.ini file on it's own, but will when I put the symlink in?
