phpinfo issue !!

IIS6 - Windows 2003 SP2.
PHP 5.2.5 Manual install using php5isapi.dll

PHP seems to be installed and working OK.

Yet I have a slight issue !!

I've created a page (test.php) with just this in it :

phpinfo();
?>

When run via my browser the php.ini settings are shown as:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File (none)

Yet if I launch the test.php page via a command line:

php C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php the php.ini settings are shown as:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File => C:\WINDOWS\php.ini

The php.ini is located in C:\Windows

Why the difference ??
Will this cause me any problems ?

Thanks

Sounds like a permissions issue. The user on behalf of which IIS is
running does not have read access to C:\WINDOWS...

I do not know if this will solve your problem but it might. I work with
PHP on Linux, not windows. Recently I had a need to use PHP from the
command line in addition to accessing PHP scripts via the apache server. I
had some difficulties in getting this set up, as it required some things
to be installed which were not installed up to that point.

In all this fiddling about, I found out that for some situations, perhaps
depending on the platform or perhaps the operating machine, by default the
php.ini file which is used by the Command Line Interpreter for PHP is not
the same as the php.ini file used by the apache server.

Perhaps this is also the case on Windows? You might indeed be accessing
two different php.ini files. Or at least your system is expecting there to
be two different ones.

The PHP binary will run as the currently logged in user. The IIS
server should be running as a different user - most likely an IWAM_XXX
user or something. Make sure that they have access to the php.ini
file in the Windows directory - not the entire directory tho! :)

IIS by default uses IUSR_

On My Windows XP Professional I've tried installing PHP 5.2.5

Default install is OK. Installing in c:\PHP directory.

echo phpinfo(); says loaded configuration file (NONE)

When I copied the php.ini to the windows directory, set the file so
IWAM and IUSR had
god privledges to the file and reboot the system, I get a blank screen
when loading the sample php page with just
a echo phpinfo();

Looks like the interpreter didn't compile the page.

When I remove the php.ini from the windows directory and reboot the
computer, every is OK except the
loaded configuration file (NONE).

Anyone have any ideas.

The IIS user is typically IUSR_(machine_name), not just IUSR.

I've got the IUSR_(machine_name) and IUSR_(machine_name_account_name),
specified. Doesn't seem to matter.
Tried the PHPRC environmental variable added to the list of system
variables, that doesn't seem to help.
Also added regedit keys to no avail.

Reviewed Error Log files and don't see anything. related to PHP or any
modules.

Any other ideas, I'm desperately monitoring this thread.

Well, if it says the config path is c:\windows, then it's looking for
the file in c:\windows.

And if it says there is no configuration file loaded, it means it can't
find the file in the config path. Either the file doesn't exist, the
security is not set properly, or you have a problem with your OS. And I
don't expect it's the OS.

What user for IIS?
