PHP Configuration file won’t load IIS7 x64

Question

using Fast CGI I can't get it to read the php.ini file. See my phpinfo below.

System Windows NT WIN-PAFTBLXQWYW 6.0 build 6001 Build Date Mar 5 2009 19:43:24 Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack" "--with-snapshot-template=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\template" "--with-php-build=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\php_build" "--disable-zts" "--disable-isapi" "--disable-nsapi" "--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--enable-htscanner=shared" Server API CGI/FastCGI Virtual Directory Support disabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows Loaded Configuration File (none) Scan this dir for additional .ini files (none)

My php.ini file is residing in both my c:\php and my c:\windows I've made sure it has read permissions in both places from network service.

I've added various registry settings, Environment Variables and followed multiple tutorials found on the web and no dice as of yet. Rebooted after each.

My original install was using MS "Web Platform Installer" however I have since rebooted.

Any ideas on where to go from here would be most welcome.

When I've had trouble loading php.ini files I found the following settings the key to getting it done.

--with-config-file-path=<path-to-php.ini>

--sysconfdir=<path-to-php.ini>

In my case (on Linux) it was
./configure ..... --with-config-file-path=/etc   --sysconfdir=/etc
