Bug #8506 Updated: CGI PHP doesn't erase the #!/path/to/php

ID: 8506 Updated by: jmoore Reported By: vladnc@hotmail.com Old-Status: Open Status: Duplicate Bug Type: *Web Server problem PHP Version: 4.0.4 Assigned To: Comments: dup of 8898 Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-12 11:41:01] vladnc@hotmail.com denice.deatrich@epfl.ch has a similar problem on a different platform: --- Start Quote --- This problem exists also for NT4 with server signature: Server: Apache/1.3.14 (Win32) PHP/4.0.4pl1 If I do not put: #!/php/php at the top of the file then I get an apache server error and this message in error.log: [Mon Mar 12 14:08:39 2001] [error] [client xxxx] c:/apache/cgi-bin/hello.php4 is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!" first line [Mon Mar 12 14:08:39 2001] [error] [client xxxx] couldn't spawn child process: c:/apache/cgi-bin/hello.php4 As soon as I put it back it works. An example script: #!/php/php <?php echo "<br>hello cgi<br>"; ?> but the html-source generated by this is (from browser's "view source"): #!/php/php <br>hello cgi<br> Of course, you can hide it with a trick like: <body bgcolor="black"><font color="white">... but that's ugly too... --- End Quote --- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-08 09:12:26] vladnc@hotmail.com The only lines concerning PHP in httpd.conf are: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps And, since I use .php as file extension, this lines are irrelevant. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-06 08:01:40] stas@php.net What is your apache configuration for PHP scripts? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-02 15:41:55] vladnc@hotmail.com And if you still have any doubts, thinking that Apache has reconized the file extension and is not using the cgi version, try http://book.ecompare-corp.com/cgi-bin/vxml/engines/kbb/phpinfo.vxml The output is the same. And if you read the php output on both pages you'll see that PHP is run as CGI (Server API CGI). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-02 15:29:53] vladnc@hotmail.com "PHP does not require the first line that you are including unlike perl due to the way its set up in apache." You're wrong. PHP is not set up at all in Apache. Look what happens if I delete the first line: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Internal Server Error</H1> The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.<P> Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@book.ecompare-corp.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.<P> More information about this error may be available in the server error log.<P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.12 Server at book.ecompare-corp.com Port 80</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML> Server error log: [Mon Jan 1 16:00:34 2001] [error] [client 212.54.118.28] Premature end of script headers: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/vxml/engines/kbb/phpinfo2.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
