Warning to all: I usually ignore a thread once I threw in my 2 cents... Emailing me off-list to continue is always kosher though. :-) Emailing me off-list with a whole new question is silly, but I try to respond... No promises to continue that practice. > on response to a question about variable $PATH_INFO , you said me: > > Is Apache configured to pass that variable on? > > Did you compile as CGI -- IE, are you using "Action" in your httpd.conf or > LoadModule/AddModule? > -------- > > but how to configure to pass that variable ? I dunno. I just know that virutally all of the pre-defined variables such as $PATH_INFO are either sent in by Apache because it was configured to, or not. If $PATH_INFO is one of those, you'll need to find your httpd.conf file and dig through there to see if it has anything related to something that looks like a setting to pass on path information to Modules. I asked about the CGI thing because there's a --enable-discard-path that you use for CGI that, umm, I never have understood those CGI-related directives, so it might (or might not) be related to PATH_INFO. Fortunately, there's only two or three of them, so it's only a matter of four or a dozen attempts to ./configure;make to get one that works. Yes, that's how I do it :-) Actually, I guess you *COULD* have used --enable-discard-path with your Module compilation... Dunno for sure what the effect would be... Hopefully, you now realize that I have only a vague understanding of all the install issues, but it's enough to focus you down to only a few things to look at. Try the php-install@lists.php.net list if you want real experts on install issues. :-) > what is action ? > i'm using LoadModule/AddModule for php4 If you were running PHP as a CGI (ie, *not* using LoadModule/AddModule) you would be using Alias/Action *instead* of LoadModule/AddModule in httpd.conf All of these Apache directives are documented far better than I could explain at http://apache.org -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
