PHP5 not detecting php.ini in user's home dir

Having the same the problem as well. php 5.1.4 with phpsuexec.

 

This thread http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=53185& says

I have it on my list of things to try the next time I need a custom php.ini. The custom one has to be in the directory of the exception, not above it as rights do not transfer down the directory tree.

 

Guys, I advice to install custom wrapper to handle such cases (of course, if you run PHP5 via Action directive!):

Read the section about the wrapper.

 

After testing a number of options it seems that PHP 5.1.4 does not fully support custom php.ini files. Don't know whether this is a bug or a change in the direction of PHP, but I truly needed per-directory php.ini support. Downgrading PHP to 5.0.5 fixed this problem and all is well. I haven't tested per-home-directory but I would imagine this works as well. Of course a custom wrapper is probably the best way to go for flexibility on shared hosting, but downgrading is a good temporary fix should you not need the latest PHP.

 

hi ispro, i did follow your instructions and also have the wrapper, but with 5.1.4 is not working that wrapper.

Any idea how to get it working?

Thank you!

 

I have not much time to debug it. However check the wrapper for custom php.ini input. Perhaps commandline params were changed in 5.1.4 (in past it was -c param). Check it.

Perhaps later I will take a look.

 

any news on this?


Having this problem as well, and I only need to enable register_globals for one account.

 

I believe it's related to this bug:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33882

Which was included in PHP5.
No current workaround, although I have been told that it should work with suPHP (in beta atm) instead of phpSuExec
