Ok... I am now at the end of my patience with this. I've followed every single post I could find on the topic, and not one of them has worked for me. After reading orbital_man's post, I thought I finally tracked down a fix, but even that hasn't worked for me. My setup is like such: PHP 5.2.6 Windows Vista Ultimate (IIS 6) I've configured PHP using the ZIP archive and manual installation. I've been installing and running PHP this way since I started using PHP 6 years ago, and never had problems. I can do it with my eyes closed and by typing with my nose, so I know I am following every step I should be, needless to mention that I do follow the installation manual every time for in case there are changes. In conclusion, PHP does not see my ini file, and whatever extensions I load and configure in php does not have affect on my installation, which is the issue, because I need MySQL loaded. Somebody please give us some guidence here. Thanx.

Also be sure to explicitly define your extension_dir directive in php.ini to load extensions correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-20 04:46:25] orbital_man at hotmail dot com Additional test case: OS: Windows XP Pro Webserver: IIS 5.1 PHP: 5.2.5 phpinfo() produced: Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File (none) After unsuccessful testing most of the night with environment variables including multiple reboots just to be sure, I finally broke down and changed the registry value as recommended in the runtime configuration section here: http://us3.php.net/configuration Steps to reproduce: 1. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
