[thelist] PHP/Xitami setup

I'm stumped...can anyone help with this?

I have exhaustively followed all of the directions for installing Xitami and
PHP on W2k. I'm using PHP ver. 4.0.1pl2 and Xitami version 2.4d7.

The weird thing is...I have it working. I even have MySQL running and have
PHP myAdmin happily connecting to the database and displaying results.
Here's the problem...when I put the php.ini in my c:\winnt folder (where all
of the documentation says it should go), the whole thing barfs...
<?
phpinfo();
?>
returns nothing, and it doesn't work. I was getting an error from PHP, then
it just didn't do anything (after I also got rid of php3.ini [left over from
a previous install] and php.ini-dist [the master .ini file].

So, phpinfo(); displays results now, among them is the smug report that the
path to the configuration file is php.ini, which I know is a lie because
there is no php.ini...so what is going on? Where is the config file? I've
searched my C drive for php.ini only to find the same files that I've been
working with (none of which actually configure anything in PHP)..

thanks,
John Corry
