All, The problem turned out to be selinux. With the newest version of RH, a new security model has been implemented. Instead of doing Discretionary Access Control (DAC, conventional rwx permissions) RH implements selinux which uses Mandatory Access Control (MAC, enhanced permissions using contexts). The /etc/php.ini file on the development box didn't have correct MAC permissions. I restored them to the correct context and apache is now reading the /etc/php.ini file. Steps below: #To restore the selinux configuration on a file. 1. check the permissions [ryan@lamp etc]$ sudo getfattr -m . -d php.ini Password: # file: php.ini security.selinux="user_u:object_r:etc_t:s0\000" 2. Create a file with the right permissions / context. [ryan@lamp etc]$ cat /home/admmadis/setme # file: php.ini security.selinux="system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0\000" 3. Restore the context of the file. [ryan@lamp etc]$ sudo setfattr --restore=/home/ryan/setme 4. look again to test. [ryan@lamp etc]$ getfattr -m . -d php.ini # file: php.ini security.selinux="system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0\000" 5. restart apache... -Thanks for everyone's help!! -----Original Message----- From: Richard Lynch [mailto:ceo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 10:43 AM To: Ryan H.
