Topic: Apache Problem

[fax]

Today I configured my Apache 2.2.4 server to use fastcgi for php function. I am very happy about the performance so far, but I have also encountered two problems.

My apache server is on C:\Apache and php folder in C:\php

However, the default php.ini location has somewhat changed from C:\WINDOWS to C:\php after I changed apache from loading php moledule to fastcgi. (know from phpinfo command).

I tried to add PHPIniDir "C:\Apache\" and moved php.ini to C:\Apache, however Apache now won't start, just crashed. It is fine for me to leave php.ini in C:\php, but I just want to know have any of you guys encountered the same problem before?

Second problem, all php application complaints cannot connect to Mysql server. I checked (from phpinfo) that two Mysql and mysqli extension are loaded and there are no errors in apache's error log. I have also downloaded the mysql test script from this site, and still connect.

Now how can I connect to Mysql?

I'm not a PHP user, but I see something glaring about the php.ini file configuration options that could cause an issue if it were moved outside of the PHP folder.

Relative paths being used rather than absolute paths. Using relative paths causes items to be looked for in relation to the current location of php.ini. Extensions is a good example.

So if you're doing:
extension_dir = "\ext\"

Try:
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext\"

I don't know this to be the problem, but offer it as a possibility.
