Hi there,
I am manually installing PHP5 onto a x86 Windows 2003 box with IIS6. The version of PHP I am installing is 5.2.6. I have created a directory C:\PHP and placed PHP in this directory including the php.ini file. I have also downloaded and extracted the PECL binaries for this release.
I have added C:\PHP\ to the system's PATH variable and created a new variable called PHPRC to which it's value was set also to C:\PHP\. I have also created a registry entry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP called IniFilePath and set that to C:\PHP.
Whenever I run phpinfo(), I am presented with two pieces of information. They read as follows:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path -> C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File -> C:\PHP\php.ini
Although I have the mysql extension uncommented, I seem to unable to load this extension and use it. I'm thinking it's probably because I don't have the libmysql.dll file in my C:\WINDOWS directory, but I don't want this.
Can someone please advise how I can go about changing the Configuration File (php.ini) Path from C:\WINDOWS to C:\PHP?
Many thanks...
