RE: PHP-MySQL connector installation problem on Windows

["Warren Vail" <warren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe C:\Windows\ is where most active ini files are stored, I think because thats where windows framework routines looked for them by default.  If you modified the application default ini in an application directory and the changes didn't take after restarting everything, I'd suggest you modify this one.

 

Good Luck,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've tried adding the backslash, restarting Apache, and reloading phpinfo on both machines.  It doesn't seem to make a difference.

One more thing I've noticed is that there are two data items listed in phpinfo referring to php.ini.  First there is the Configuration File (php.ini) Path, and then there is the Loaded Configuration File.  I thought the php.ini file was supposed to be taken from the PHP root directory, which is C:\Program Files\PHP\ on my machines.  But the Configuration File (php.ini) Path on both machines is listed as C:\Windows.  In fact, there is a php.ini file there as well as in the PHP root directory.  I've been updating that one too, though it still doesn't seem to make a difference.  On the Vista machine, the Loaded Configuration File is C:\Windows\php.ini, but on the XP it is C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini.  This is another mystery to me.

Thanks,
Rory
