ID: 42849 Comment by: george at protogenlabs dot com Reported By: inglis-php at yahoo dot com dot au Status: No Feedback Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: win xp pro PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment:
I am running a fresh copy of Windows Server 2008 with IIS7, and ran into this exact same issue as well. I did the manual install and properly added C:\PHP into the PATH system variable. PHP is working, however it wasn't reading the php.ini which was in C:\PHP, so it was technically running with its default config. I know that this is not the preferred way to fix something like this, but I found that having 2 identical copies of php.ini (one in C:\PHP, and one in C:\Windows), lead to this problem getting fixed. After that, php_MySQL.dll and all other custom configs showed up, and it was smooth sailing after that. Too bad I wasted about 5 hours of my life though... Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same thing, and if a proper bug fix ever gets released, it would be even better!

Running into the same issue...php info output: Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File (none) VPS Container: Windows 2003 Server SP2 IIS 6.0 PHP Version 5.2.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-13 12:30:26] pip at pip dot co dot za 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.
