It is maybe correct for DLLs, with the caveat that PHP will also look in the extensions directory in php.ini, assuming you get php.ini loaded in the first place. > c:\php is in the path statement, but it does not show it as being > there when > I remove it from c:\winnt > > [snip] PHP doesn't consider 'path' at all when looking for php.ini, almost for sure. It's a constant compiled into the software, essentially, except for the new-fangled Apache directive to change it. > If for some reason you need to use PHP.INI in C:\WINNT then let me > ask... > [/snip] > > Changes in php.ini are not reflected in phpinfo() after an IIS restart > (cache cleared).

Your 404 problem is entirely separate and distinct from this issue. Solve them separately. php.ini problem is easily solved. 404, you're on your own. > [snip] > if you go to http://www.site.com/ (no index.php) on it, is that when > you get > the 404?

Or, at least, it is possible to configure Apache in such a way that it will actually force the user to be re-directed to the DocumentIndex, I think. Or perhaps naive inexperienced Apache users do this as a work-around since they don't understand DocumentIndex. I got no idea how IIS handles any of the DocumentIndex-like stuff. > Yes.It still reads http://www.site.com before and after refresh. > > [snip] > If you get 404, it's the web server telling the browser it can't find > the > page.
