Re: Running as CGI when PHP is compiled as a DSO with Apache

It will work fine for the DSO and the CGI version to be installed on the same machine and they can use the same .ini file. I do this on my server and it works out well. On a server where you don't have control I have also run into this. I needed PHP for a cron-job and I knew that they wouldn't install the CGI version on the server so I installed the CGI version myself within my home directory. I didn't need root permissions to install it. It's a little devious but I made the executable only executable by me so the security implications are limited and it enables me to do what I need to do. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
