Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #5328: Unable to run php 4.0.1 or 4.0.1pl2 as CGI-BIN

Hi Zeev Thank you for your prompt reply. Following your suggestion I compiled without --enable-discard-path and it worked! So I have attached the output from phpinfo() for your review. My web server is Apache 1.3.9 + PHP 3.0.12 + modSSL 2.4.9. The --enable-discard-path switch worked with PHP 4.0.0 but not with 4.0.1 and above. So is it something new to 4.0.1 that would have changed this behaviour? Thanks, Ying On Sat, 1 Jul 2000, Zeev Suraski wrote: > What Web server are you using?
