Re: Re: php ini not being read

I've never put any reference to php.ini within the httpd.conf file in the past, so no, I do not have php.ini in httpd.conf this time either. Here's my httpd.conf (as it pertains to php) : AddType application/x-httpd-php .php That's it; where would I reference the php.ini file within apache (point me to some docs on this topic if you know them).

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?
