i have a problem . hope i can get an answer here . i am developing a control panel for hosting providers , in php ! this means a lot of problems with permissions so i decided to run the panel on a separate minimal apache installation with php and mysql , under user aolex that has permissions on system . advantages : - you may use any apache/mysql/php version you want , panel is independent ! - you don't have to disable safe_mode and other security measures - you don't need extra tools and modules for the panel to work - panel runs under user aolex , permissions can be easely managed etc. ... however , i have a few questions ! i will use port 2484 on apache (so the 2 installations will not interfer with each other) . i will use another port for mysql (so the panel sql server is different than the "local" one) and i will use php 4.3.11 . the problem is here : if i have 2 php installations (separate) , can i have 2 php.ini files ? how will php know wich is the good php.ini ? please clear my mind thank you screenshots of panel : Admin: Client: there will be a reseller level too , under dev . and the modules are a little changed (few modules more) because the screens are alpha versions
You compile the location of the php.ini into PHP. Run Code: ./configure --help in the PHP source directory to find out about all the configuration options.
so if i compile php from sources using that flag , and i set the php.ini in $php_dir/php.ini , than , if i copy that php installation it will always search for php.ini in the $php_dir , right ? so i can have 2 php.ini's
