I'm having a problem with php-cli and php_mod reading my php.ini file.
I've compiled php from source, during which process I set
"--with-config-file=/etc". Once the compile completed, I then copied
php.ini-recommened to /etc/php.ini.

After restarting Apache, I run phpinfo() and "Configuration File Path"
is showing only "/etc", which means it's not find /etc/php.ini. So then
I tried the cli and ran phpinfo() from it and same thing. If I run it
as "php -c /etc/php.ini", it can find/read it.

For what it's worth, this is happening on a Gentoo system, but this
shouldn't make too much of a difference since I've compiled PHP from
source (v5.0.4), the same source I've used on a couple of other
(non-Gentoo) machines.

Just in case, here's the configure command I used:
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--disable-cgi'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-openssl' '--with-zlib'
'-enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dba'
'--with-db4' '--with-inifile' '--with-flatfile' '--enable-dio'
'--enable-ftp' '--enable-gmp' '--with-unixODBC' '--with-pgsql'
'--with-readline' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-wddx'
'--with-xsl' '--with-pear'

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim
