#50882 [NEW]: Documentation for CGI Compile and Configure is nearly non-existant

From: byurko at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux - Debian or other PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation for CGI Compile and Configure is nearly non-existant Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.commandline.php I'm having an awful time doing something that I expect Thousands of people have attempted. Why is this not documented better? I don't want to use the Apache Module for PHP5. I need to get it running as a CGI program. There are 4 ./configure options. Apache has several ways to be configured here. I don't see even a basic functional example on this page. You do not even begin to explain how to ensure php-cgi is built, how to suppress the shared object module, where it is installed, and how to link it to any web server (even just to get users started). Can we work upon this? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50882&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50882&r=mysqlcfg
