As shown in the last example, none of these php-cgi.exe command line issues appear in 5.2.6 or lesser version. Only with 5.3. Here is my analysis of the situation. In 5.3, there was a massive change to the parsing and file name resolution logic. There are issues with it. Unfortunately, I lack the time to get into a windows recompiling project I can trace it down. The last time I did that I lost a tooth. :-) Please also see bug #49040 which was found during the time trying to figure this out expecting it was related to the cgi ini settings and/or the env settings where were not the case. thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 19:25:10] pajoye@php.net Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ If any, try a 5.3 snapshot... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 19:22:43] jani@php.net Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 19:09:07] sant9442 at gmail dot com It should be noted that we spend 10 hours on this issue, first believing it was related to changed to the php.ini options ;doc_root = ;cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 cgi.force_redirect = 0 and CGI environment strings: DOCUMENT_ROOT=d:\wc63\http PATH_INFO=/pwe/helloworld.php SCRIPT_NAME=/pwe/helloword.php PATH_TRANSLATED=d:\wc63\http\pwe\helloworld.php SCRIPT_FILENAME=d:\wc63\http\pwe\helloworld.php which all research (googling) of "no input file specified" related to. Reqardless of what we tried, it would not work until I discovered the 3 character folder name off the root folder was the problem. Renaming it to 4 characters or more, solved the issue and that was discovered when all other URLS were working and we noticed the only difference was the 3 character length of the folder name. This comment is mentioned so that time isn't wasted on the above issues related and possible reasons for "no input file specified." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-23 19:00:21] sant9442 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ After upgrading to 5.3 from 5.2.6, we began to see "No input file specified" errors with working URLs: /pwe/helloworld.php It was eventually discovered that renaming the pwe folder to something with 4 characters or more, then it would work. A subfolder name with 3 characters or less failed: Reproduce code: --------------- A url would be: /pwe/helloworld.php where pwe is a subfolder off the web server root document folder: d:\wc63\http So the web server script mapping spawn basically did this which can be emulated manually: cd \wc63\http d:\wc63\php-cgi.exe d:\wc63\http\pwe\helloworld.php This failed. Rename it to pwe1 and try: d:\wc63\php-cgi.exe d:\wc63\http\pwe1\helloworld.php and it should it work. Expected result: ---------------- A page is displayed Actual result: -------------- "No Input File Specified" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49039&edit=1
