Re: Apache/PHP4 Question

Sounds like you could remove the mime type for php in httpd.conf : AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Tony -- Tony McCrory IT, Trinity Mirror group (Ireland) (028) 9068 0168 tony.mccrory@mgn.co.uk "Devin Atencio" To: <php-general@lists.php.net> <dreamboy@aro cc: s.net> Subject: [PHP] Apache/PHP4 Question 06/14/2001 04:45 PM I have a Server Running Apache 1.3.14 and it has PHP4 running as a module. For our customers we require that they use .cgi for all of their scripts and so if a user wants to run a php4 script on our server they use www.blah.com/myphpfile.cgi with of course the first line being #!/usr/local/bin/php4, then our server runs the php4 script as the user rather than running as the server username. I noticed a security whole if a customer stuck a .htaccess file in the Directory and then added the following, it would allow them to stick .php files in their home directory and have it run as the server and be parsed automatically. Is there a way to make it so that they can't do this and me not have to disable the AllowOverride FileInfo, cause right now I have to disable that feature cause of the security problem that it allowed to happen. Anyone have any idea of what I can do? /'^'\ ( o o ) ------------------------------------------oOOO--(_)--OOOo---- Devin Atencio ArosNet Systems Administration .oooO EMail: dreamboy@aros.net ( ) Oooo. --------------------------------------------\ (----( )----- \_) ) / (_/ IMPORTANT NOTICE The information in this e-mail is confidential and should only be read by those persons to whom it is addressed and is not intended to be relied upon by any person without subsequent written confirmation of its contents.
