  PHP error settings ignored by fastcgi? Reply Contact Hi, I have the following settings in my php.ini: error_reporting = E_ALL display_errors = Off display_startup_errors = Off log_errors = On log_errors_max_len = 1024 ignore_repeated_errors = Off ignore_repeated_source = Off html_errors = On error_log = php_error.log If I run PHP as isapi, these settings are recognized and errors are not displayed on the site, but are instead logged. If I run PHP as fast-cgi, these settings are ignored. Something like <?php echo $testvar; ?> results in a "PHP Notice: Undefined variable: testvar in F:\html\admin\index.php on line 6" being displayed without anything else. It seems thru fast-cgi those settings are ignored, and it even aborts execution of the entire page after a notice. Running PHP 5.2.3 on IIS 6 (Windows 2003 server). Rgds, Coditor

  Re: PHP error settings ignored by fastcgi? Reply Contact Hi Coditor, Where is your php.ini file? And what does phpinfo(); say your PHPRC environment variable is? According to this thread: http://forums.iis.net/t/1079480.aspx. The searching path for PHP ISAPI and FastCGI are different. Try placing php.ini in the same dir as php-cgi.exe. Hope it helps.

  Re: PHP error settings ignored by fastcgi? Reply Contact Hi, Thanks for your reply. My php.ini file is in C:\PHP5\ and I have no PHPRC environment variable. But I have done some more checking, and found this: We have two websites running on that server, one (site "A") is set to anonymous access, the other one (site "B") is set to no anonymous access, and is using windows authentication to let users logon. Site "A" works fine, the error is not displayed but is logged instead. Site "B" doesn't work. The settings as displayed by phpinfo are the same (same path to php.ini which it seems to be reading ok, same settings wrt error handling etc.). Both the user for site "A", and the users that are logging in on site "B", are part of the same groups, and have the same security policy settings. Note that this is a standard PHP 5.2.3 - we don't compile, just download the binaries from php.net. Coditor

  Re: PHP error settings ignored by fastcgi? Reply Contact Hi Coditor, Have you check whether one of site is using ISAPI and the other is using FastCGI?

According to this, the problem should be the permission settings of your php.ini. Please goes to the folder of this file and grant read permission for appropriate users. Based on my understanding, using Everyone group should be an easy way.

I've also used filemon which didn't show any "access denied" messages.. As long as there is no warning, notice or other error in the page, it works fine. But as soon as there is one of those the page is aborted (eventho a warning or notice isn't fatal).

I'm not sure how PHP treated this issue if the application pool running PHP has insufficient permissions accessing php.ini. There might be a default configuration loaded. Based on my understanding, you can use Filemon to monitor how the php.ini file is loaded in FastCGI model too. This can help narrow down the issue that is whether PHP in ISAPI model and FastCGI model treated configuration differently.

Reply Contact I've also found that in fast-cgi the set_time_limit function is ignored, returning a 500 server error if the script takes more time than the default ini setting. I've given up on fast-cgi, back to isapi for me.

Reply Contact Coditor: I've also found that in fast-cgi the set_time_limit function is ignored, returning a 500 server error if the script takes more time than the default ini setting. I've given up on fast-cgi, back to isapi for me. Hi, i had the same problem. Searching for a solution i stumbled up on this thread. Now i found the error on my installation: I had log_errors = On error_log = C:\temp\php_error.log but access to C:\temp\php_error.log was denied by ACL ( my fault ). After enabling access to the logfile, the PHP error messages are no longer written to the output, but logged to the logfile AND script execution continues.
