Question

Is there a way to read a module’s configuration ini file?

For example I installed php-eaccelerator (http://eaccelerator.net) and it put a eaccelerator.ini file in /etc/php.d. My PHP installation wont read this .ini file because the --with-config-file-scan-dir option wasn’t used when compiling PHP. Is there a way to manually specify a path to the ini file somewhere so PHP can read the module’s settings?

This is just a wild guess, but try to add all the directives from eaccelerator.ini to php.ini. First create a <?php phpinfo(); ?> and check where it’s located.

For example, try this:

[eAccelerator] extension='eaccelerator.so' eaccelerator.shm_size='32' eaccelerator.cache_dir='/tmp' eaccelerator.enable='1' eaccelerator.optimizer='1' eaccelerator.check_mtime='1' eaccelerator.debug='0' eaccelerator.filter='' eaccelerator.shm_max='0' eaccelerator.shm_ttl='0' eaccelerator.shm_prune_period='0' eaccelerator.shm_only='0' eaccelerator.compress='1' eaccelerator.compress_level='9' 

Another thing you could do is set all the settings on run-time using ini_set(). I am not sure if that works though or how effective that is. 🙂 I am not familiar with eAccelerator to know for sure.
