No problem. Thanks a lot for the help you're providing.

Ok... it took me a while but I finally got it working. It was one of those
time when you try hundreds of different things and by the end you don't kno=
w
if what you're trying you have already done it or not.
The thing is that my php.ini was loading the extensions from extension_dir =
=3D
"/usr/local/php/lib/extensions/" and the java.so was installed on
/usr/local/php/lib/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/
What I don't know is why it didn't work when I copied every file from
usr/local/php/lib/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/ to
/usr/local/php/lib/extensions/
Is there any way to change that installation path while configuring PHP/Jav=
a
Bridge?

Not even using putenv PHP function? Because I use that to configure some
Oracle stuff.

I saw the FAQ... does it mean that I should start Apache with apachectl -D
java.ext.dirs=3D/path/to/my/confs ?
I would rather work something out that did not envolve having to modify
startup configuration.
I'm using this to work with a java api, which would be a quite small part o=
f
a much larger application and would like to make it easier to deploy becaus=
e
most probably I won't be installing it.

BTW: Isn't that backwards? If you want to load

Might be. I read something  like that, the problem is that  the
getSystemResource call is made from  the API I'm working with (which source
I don't have), and I have to work with that.
