Not using php.ini

Brendan_Nolan

Hi,

I have OS X (10.2) and have installed php on it, and now I want to turn register globals on. So I downloaded a version of php.ini and placed it in the location that phpinfo() said it was...

/usr/local/lib

but lib did not already exist there, so I created it. I restarted apacheand re-hit my phpinfo() page and obvoiusly it knows that the php.ini is there, because the path now says

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

But it isn't using the options that I set in the file!

I had everything working fine on another machine, then I did an OS X update an it all stuffed up!

My pages are not working properly anymore, and I am sure that if I could change register_globals on that they will... as this is how it used to be set up when it was working.

Please help!

When you say you restarted apache, did you restart JUST the apache server, or the whole computer? Cos I think this would have done it.

I restarted it like so...

sudo apachectl stop
sudo apachectl start

I did not use 'restart' or 'graceful' because I am lead to believe that this doesn't reset some things.

I solved my problem the hard way... I formatted the server, reinstalled OS X and am now using version shipped (4.1.2) and it works fine. The problem (I think) is in the path that PHP is compiled with... but it is strange that even when I create the directories that it referances it will not work!
