getting php off the ground

[bobbydale81]

My php.ini file is located in two different places on my drive /usr/local/php/php.ini and /etc/php.ini. Both are configured exactly the same; however, PHP is not behaving the way that I have configured it in both files.

One example: My session.save_path is set to /var/

http://www/html/tmp

in both files, yet PHP continues to use /tmp for the session.save_path. It does this with a few other configuration options.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ask PHP where it expects php.ini to be.

Run a script that consists entirely of:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and look for "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" in the output.

Configuration File (php.ini) Path = /usr/local/php"

That is where I already have the file, but the options I have in the file, specifically session.save_path, are not taking effect. Could this be a permissions issue? The php.ini file is owned by root and is in the group root. Should it be something different? Perhaps, the same group that httpd is a part of?

Thanks!

That shouldn't matter, so long has the file is world-readable.

Did you restart Apache after editing php.ini? If you're running PHP as a web server module, the changes won't take effect until you do.
