[Mapserver-users] PHP problem

[Matt Doggett]

Aha! Just wrestled (and won) with this very same problem this morning.
Find out where PHP is looking for the php.ini file.  In my case, I
compiled PHP with --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php but I forgot to
put the php.ini in that location.  This is important because within
php.ini is a setting called extension_dir which tells php where to look
for extensions. Make sure this is set to wherever you put your
php_mapscript.so file (in my case
extension_dir=/usr/local/apache2/modules)
This should solve your problem.
