Config file not found as specified - Home directory could not be located so it was not searched

[Marty G]

Hi Guys, 

I've been using Adwords API for around a year or so, on a mini project using xampp & with each new release, I've managed to get it working using the old auth.ini file.

So I've downloaded the latest Google Adwords API using composer & installed it to our classes directory

• /site-root/main-application/classes/google-adwords/ 
  

I've setup all our details within the new config file "adsapi_php.ini" which all looks good!

but... for the life of me, I just cant figure out where the "adsapi_php.ini" file should be located, 

so far I've tried:

• /site-root/
  
• /site-root/main-application/
  
• /site-root/main-application/classes/
  
• /site-root/main-application/classes/google-adwords/
• /site-root/main-application/classes/google-adwords/vendor/
• /site-root/main-application/classes/google-adwords/vendor/googleads/

Each time I try a new location I still get the same fatal error:

Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Config file not found as specified: 'adsapi_php.ini'.
Home directory could not be located so it was not searched.' in C:\xampp\htdocs\main-application\classes\google-adwords\vendor\googleads\googleads-php-lib\src\Google\AdsApi\Common\ConfigurationLoader.php on line 77

Note: running the $_SERVER global to find the home path, 

I would assume it's the [DOCUMENT_ROOT] => C:/xampp/htdocs
