I'm almost at my wits end with this problem. This is a new install of PHP 4.3 & Apache 1.3.27 on a Redhat 8.0 machine. Php works fine with the exception of configuration file changes...
This is a local network not seen by the rest of the world and I would like to register_globals in the ini file as opposed to using ini_set or recoding several large projects to use $_GET[var] and $_POST[var]. On to the diagnosis. >From phpinfo()... PHP Version 4.3.1 Configure Command './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-informix=/opt/informix' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-apache=/share/source/apache/apache_1.3.27' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf' Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/apache/conf register_globals Off Off ........................... from command line... ls -l /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 mstembri mstembri 23723 Mar 5 19:33 php.ini -- note apache runs as user mstembri (confirmed in httpd.conf) ........................... from /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini ... register_globals = On ........................... I've also tried using ini_set("register_globals", "On"); but this also doesn't work. For kicks I tried chowning the file to nobody then restarted apache, however this did not help. Even though phpinfo() says apache looks for the file in /usr/local/apache/conf I copied the php.ini to /usr/local/bin and /etc - no luck there either. I also copied the working php.ini file from another RH server using php 4.0.6, but still no luck with changing php configuration. I've spent the past two hours reading google and google groups trying everything that has worked for others. I'm running out of options. Any other ideas or suggestions?
