Apache allows specification of a configuration file (other than the default) by using the -f option at the time the daemon is started. So, I can have multiple instances of the same Apache binary running, each using a different configuration file.
What I would like to do, is have each one of those instances also use a different php.ini. I want the effect of the -c option for the PHP stand-alone version, but in the Apache module version. However, it doesn't seem that I can specify the location of the php.ini file for the Apache module version other than via the compile-time option --with-config-file-path. Specifically, I want some sites to run with Zend Optimizer, and some with APC. Since these products can not run together, it seems clear that I must have separate Apache processes handle them, as opposed to just different virtual servers within the same process. Since neither product can be loaded dynamically, I'll need to have different php.ini files for each set of sites. However, it doesn't seem that I can accomplish my goal unless I compile two separate libphp4.so files (the only difference being the --with-config-file-path option), and then have the already separate httpd.conf files refer specifically to them. Is there a better way to accomplish this? -- Alex Howansky Wankwood Associates http://www.wankwood.com/ -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
