I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 with the Apple-supplied versions of PHP (5.2.10) and Apache (2.2.11). Changes made to the /etc/php.ini file are not taking effect after stop/start of Apache. phpinfo() and shell command php -i confirm the 'status quo'. The php.ini file permissions are 444 with root/wheel ownership. It was copied from the php.ini.default file that came with the php distribution. Here's what I'm trying to change - seems pretty like this should be pretty basic stuff:

include_path = ".:/usr/local/some_directory"
// Original entry in the php.ini.default file was commented out
// The directory '/usr/local/some_directory' exists
// phpinfo() only shows include_path = .:

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
// Original entry in the php.ini.default value was 'On'
// phpinfo() shows magic_quotes_gpc = On

I've been all over the php.net website and cannot identify my error. Shouldn't the changes to the php.ini file should be interpreted immediately after restarting Apache?

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Suggestions for fixing this malfunction would be greatly appreciated. I know I can hard code workarounds into my PHP code but that really defeats the whole purpose of even having a php.ini file....

What does phpinfo() say for Configuration File Path? Additionally are you seeing any errors in /var/log/apache2/error_log? – Chealion Nov 8 '09 at 1:24
Configuration File Path is /etc Apache stop/start: [Sat Nov 07 17:22:35 2009] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Sat Nov 07 17:22:53 2009] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache] mod_bonjour: Skipping user 'Trent' - cannot read index file '/Users/Trent/Sites/index.html'.

Sorry - I'm having trouble formatting the comments to make them more readable.... – user17213 Nov 8 '09 at 2:08

Problem resolved. For some reason the changes I made to line 305 WRT to error reporting were causing the problem. I had deleted '& ~E_NOTICE' to help supposedly with debugging. I have no clue as to why this change caused the failure - but I was able to move ahead....

Note: I cannot paste the two lines from the php.ini file correctly due to the formatting rules used on this website.
