RE: [PHP] Changing php directives inside apache config file

[snip]
There's really no reason to wrap the 'php_value' in the IfModule
statement. Other than the, the syntax looks good...I know it's supposed

to work in the httpd.conf, but I've never tested that...I've always done

it in a .htaccess in the document root for the virtual.
[/snip]

I'm pretty much a newbie to administering Apache so could you provide an
example?

I've set my .htaccess file up like this, and placed it in the root of
the site:

php4_include_path .:/usr/local/lib/php:/path/to/cmsdev.unbc.ca/html

but I'm still not seeing the changes taking effect.

Any ideas?

Cheers and TIA.

Pablo

The proper syntax for the .htaccess file would be...

php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php:/path/to/cmsdev.unbc.ca/html"

All on one line (email wrapping is going to put the above on two lines).
I'm pretty sure the syntax is the same for the httpd.conf, but you
don't need the module wrapper...it should work like this.....

<VirtualHost ###.###.##.###>
php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php:/path/to/cmsdev.unbc.ca/html"
ServerAdmin cms@unbc.ca
DocumentRoot /path/to/cmsdev.unbc.ca/html
ServerName cmsdev.unbc.ca
ErrorLog /path/to/cmsdev.unbc.ca/logs/cmsdev.unbc.ca-error_log
CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
ErrorDocument 403 /403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
</VirtualHost>

Just remember to restart Apache if you go the httpd.conf route. If
using the .htaccess method, be sure that .htaccess is given enough
override permission in the httpd.conf.
