note 67375 added to install.windows.apache2

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a "feature", or an Apache problem; but I figuerd this info might save someone some time While installing PHP 5.1.4 as a module on Apache 2.0.58 on a Win XP-pro sp2 development box, I discovered 2 very important things. One, if the path to the php.ini dir in the httpd.conf file is a valid path but the dir does not contain a php.ini file php will launch and run off of a "ghost" php.ini file that it claims exists in C:/WINDOWS. This also happens if the path is correct and the dir contains the php.ini file but the path string in httpd.conf uses '\' instead of '/' with a '\' on the end. Two, the php.ini-recommended file did not launch php with this set up. The php.ini-dist file did. ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 198.99.85.66 (proxied: ICAP/1.0 192.168.154.25) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/67375 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67375 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/67375 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
