include_path and virt servers w/ Apache

[Anon]

Hi,

I recently upgraded Apache from 1.3.22 to 1.3.24 and PHP from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1. This is all running on RedHat 7.2.

Prior to upgrading, I had 2 virtual servers with different include paths. I set the include paths in Apache's httpd.conf file within the virtual host containers with the following syntax.

For my development server...
php_value include_path "/home/httpd/dev/includes"

For my production server...
php_value include_path "/home/httpd/prod/includes"

The httpd.conf file wasn't changed, but the include_path was no longer being set properly. When I changed the value in the httpd.conf file, the change was reflected in the Local Value column of the phpinfo(), but the Master Value never changes.

How do I get the Master Value to change to the value I need? I vaguely remember having to do something funky to get this to work in the first place, but unfortunately I forgot to document it somewhere.

Thanks,
Phil

try to edit the value of "include_path" in php.ini or using "ini_set()" in your script.

Setting the include path in the php.ini file will not work in my situation. I need to have the development virtual server point to the development code and the prod virtual server point to the production code. This is necessary for ease of code migration. When code is migrated from dev to prod, the migrator won't have to go through the code to remove/change code that is environment specific.

The same thing goes for ini_set. That would require code to be environment specific which is what I am trying to avoid.
