Multiple php.ini instances - configuration tree errors (PHPIniDir)

[forrie]

We're running multiple vhosts in an apache-2.x configuration for which
we would like to provide separate php.ini files (for different
reasons).

At the moment, we're unable to do this - the error I'm seeing is:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 87 of
/etc/httpd/conf/vhost.conf.admin:
Only first PHPINIDir directive honored per configuration tree -
subsequent ones ignored
[FAILED]

So my question here is in a couple of parts. One, is it even possible
to do what I'm trying to do... and what is a "configuration tree" -
does that refer to the entire instance of the apache server itself. Is
it possible to have more than one "configuration tree"s.
Thanks!

Unless I've missed something, no, it's not.

Yes, looks that way.

I don't think so. One Apache instance has one configuration tree; you'd have
run a separate Apache instance per vhost, which would almost certainly be
unmanageable.

You can override some PHP settings per vhost in httpd.conf with php_flag and
php_value, but that's not quite the same.
