Bug #17124 Updated: install.txt (php.exe vs php-cli.exe)

ID: 17124 Updated by: thenry@mysideproject.com Reported By: thenry@mysideproject.com Status: Closed Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Ok, I fixed that error as well by simply copying php4ts.dll to the sapi directory and now this php build works fine! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-10 14:26:12] thenry@mysideproject.com Ok, now I updated my conf file for my Apache Server to the following: Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/sapi/php.exe" I restarted the server, then tried accessing one of my php files. I get the following in a windows alert box. "php.exe - Unable To Locate DLL", Thy dynamic link library php4ts.dll could not be found in the specified path d:\Apahce~1\php\sapi ... (screen shot here http://www.mysideproject.com/dump/php-error.gif) This is because the php4ts.dll file is located in the php directory not the Sapi directory. So now what? On top of that, I thought I would cross reference the install.txt located in the zip file to the one you have on the website at http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/win32/install.txt The install.txt online says to use the following Action application: Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe" I believe that is a documentation error as well. Confusing none the less, any other suggestions? I think I will double back to release 4.1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-10 04:43:31] sander@php.net You need to use the php.exe in the /sapi directory, php-cli.exe should not be used in with a webserver. I've already updated install.txt to reflect these changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-09 12:39:38] thenry@mysideproject.com I believe there is an error in the php install.txt. -Using the traditional php as a CGI binary, it states to add the following line to your conf file on a Apache server: Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" However, in the new build of php 4.2.0 using the zip package, there is no "php.exe" in the php directory. There is only a php-cli.exe, the php.exe is actually located in the sapi directory. I am having tremendous amounts of trouble installing the new php build on my Apache server, whereas the previous php build runs fine on my portable laptop running the same server. I am getting both 404 file not founds, and 500 errors. I've also checked the Apache error log file and it states: [Thu May 09 12:19:54 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] script not found or unable to stat: D:/Apache/php/php.exe, referer: http://localhost/ Todd Henry Portland, ME ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17124&edit=1
