I've found that the positioning of the PHPIniDir within httpd.conf makes a difference - place it at the end and it loads the correct php.ini, but place it towards the top of httpd.conf results in the no php.ini being loaded at all. Also be sure to explicitly define your extension_dir directive in php.ini to load extensions correctly.

Click Start -> Click Run -> Type Regedit -> Hit Enter 2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\ 3. Right click in right-hand window pane and select New->String Value 4. Set Name to: IniFilePath 5. Set Data to: C:\Program Files\PHP\ (or wherever your installation is) 6. Click Start -> Click Run -> Type cmd -> Hit Enter -> Type iisreset phpinfo() now produces: Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini Additionally, my mysql database is now working also. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-13 17:20:35] thakralrohit at gmail dot com I am having a similar problem. Have been trying to search on the web for the whole day now but no success. I have this, OS: Win XP Pro SP 2 IIS: 5.1 PHP: 5.2.5 (MSI Installer with MySQL) Now, when I load phpinfo() I get output, Configuration File (php.ini) Path E:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File (none) No information about the three extensions that I have MySQL, MySQLi and OpenSSL. If I put the php.ini file in E:\WINDOWS directory nothing loads at all. I have tried re-installation, PHPRC environment variable setting and Registry Settings but to no use. There is another setting further down in the phpinfo() output, extension_dir C:\php5 Can someone please help. It seems like similar to this bug with no update. Thanks in advance. Regards Rohit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-05 19:02:54] caseyy at gmail dot com I am also having this problem. phpinfo says config is being looked for in my windows directory despite httpconf specifying the right directory(C:\PHP). Problem is on Vista too. When I copy the ini file to the windows directory, nothing loads at all, just a blank screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-27 06:09:29] wiseup24 at hotmail dot com I am having a simular issue but in my phpinfo test i get this: Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows Loaded Configuration File (none) there is no php.ini in the windows directory and my apache httpd conf file has this: PHPIniDir "C:\PHP\" I tried to copy the php.ini to the windows directory but apache fails to start when it is in there. I am running Vista with PHP 5.2.5 and Apache 2.2 I have tried using the msi install for php and the zipped version and still doesnt work. without the correct php.ini being read, i can not enable the correct extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-12 10:36:50] algisimu at gmail dot com I'm using Apache 2.0.54, Php 5.2.5 and Win XP Pro. My php.ini file is locaed in the c:\php dir (php installation dir, no more php.ini files found on the computer), apache httpd.conf file is set up with PHPIniDir "C:/php/", but phpinfo() reports these results: Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File C:\php\php.ini Have tried to add registry values as described in http://uk3.php.net/configuration, have tried to add PHPRC environment variable, but phpinf() still gives same result. One thing worth mentioning is that then I run php script as CLI with '-c c:\php' option everything works fine, but then I run same script thru my browser expected php.ini file is not loaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
