Quick php.ini question...

Does anyone know why the Abyss server reads the php.ini file in the c:\program files\php folder & not the one in the c:\windows folder?

My mail form kept giving me the error:

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in D:\serverfolder

It worked great on the Apache server but when I installed Abyss it gave that error. After 3 days, today I finally figured I'd edit the c:\program files\php\php.ini file and wala it works like a charm.

If you delete the php.ini file in the C:\PHP directory, it will most likely read from the one in the Windows Directory.

Nope, I renamed the php.ini file to php.bak then when I tried to access a php page it would error saying that the page could not be found.

Then all I can guess is reinstall PHP. Then again, it doesn't look like it is causing much of a problem for you anyway.

Yes it's running great now. Thought I'd see if anyone knew why it was looking there. And it might help someonelse scanning this scetion.

Thanks for you input.

cjsa,

Abyss doesn't read php.ini file. This file is read by PHP itself so all depends on the PHP release you're using and how it was configured (at configuration time.)
