PHP as CGI in Apache

Ok. So we've been using PHP via an Apache module on our servers for quite some time. Well, one of the php guys want's to try running PHP on a test server as a CGI interpreter. (Don't ask...) I have a Redhat 7.2 server with latest PHP RPM's. /usr/bin/php is installed and appears to be the CGI compiled version. After digging around on some web pages, I commented out the PHP module lines in httpd.conf, copied /usr/bin/php into /var/www/php4 and then added these lines to httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ScriptAlias /php4/ "/var/www/php4/" Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php After restarting apache, I pointed a browser at a simple info php script in the normal apache root directory. I was given a 404 error and the apache log file said: script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/php4php Just for grins, I created a symlink named /var/www/php4php and pointed it to /var/www/php4/php. When I did that and reloaded my test page, I got a number of PHP style errors complaining about parse errors in /var/www/php4/php. Am I missing something simple here? And yes, I know that PHP via CGI is generally frowned upon. This isn't for a public server, it's for an internal test server and only so that this developer can test a few things and then we'll go back to the normal mode of operation. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Smith vox: 269.226.9550 ext.26 Network Director fax: 269.349.9076 Nexcerpt, Inc. http://www.nexcerpt.com ...Nexcerpt...
