Title: Using jffnms with XAMPP - snmp & sockets modules not loaded

Got it!

while checking the xampp docs, it seems xampp does NOT use the php.ini in the xampp\php-dir,

but instead it uses the php.ini which is located in xampp\apache\bin !!!

So everyone take care when using xampp and editing the php.ini....choose the right one ;)

Betreff: [jffnms-users] Using jffnms with XAMPP - snmp & sockets modules not loaded

Hi,
i just have installed jffnms on a Win2k Prof. box according to the install-guide, with just a few exceptions.
I use the xampp-package (which simply starts apache, mysql, perl, php..so i don't have to install all single
packages).
I have copied the php.ini file as required to c:\winnt , and have uncommented the following lines:

extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_snmp.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll

Now, when i look at the status screen, i see that snmp and sockets modules aren't loaded:

SNMP Module Loaded?     error  
Sockets Module Loaded?  error  

I have also edited the php.ini file in the xampp-directory c:\netzwerk\xampp\php\
(this is where xampp/php is installed)...but no success.
When i start xampp, i see that it starts php5..ok, edit php5.ini as well and copy that file
to c:\winnt...no success.
Then, i copied c:\winnt\php5.ini also to c:\winnt\php.ini...also no success.

My questions:
1) WHICH php.ini will be used at startup of the webserver? The one located in the dir c:\winnt
   or the one in the \php directory? Why do i have to copy the php.ini to c:\winnt ?
   Shouldn't be a matter now, because all php.ini and php5.ini files in c:\winnt and c:\netzwerk\xampp\php
   are identical by now.
2) Any hints how to get this work?

btw: Of course, after all changes i have restared the webserver.
I even have closed my webbroser, deleted the cache and used IE instead of mozilla,
to make sure i dont use a cached screen.

would be nice if anyone has an idea..
