You'd run PHP as CGI. But there're some hidden traps. I don't know who is really the cause, but PHP (both 3 and 4) assumes that PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables are properly set. Apache since 1.2x (AFAIK) is ignoring this stuff. v1.2x just does not fill these variables (they are existing), but 1.3x has not set these vars anymore.:( I can recommend something like this wrapper: #!/bin/bash PATH_INFO=/system/fis/new/index.htm #$SCRIPT_NAME contains the right value #PATH_TRANSLATED=/usr/local/apache/virt/vis/index.html PATH_TRANSLATED=/pub/www/root/system/fis/new/index.htm #$SCRIPT_FILENAME conatins the right value export PATH_INFO export PATH_TRANSLATED #alternatively, you could just unset vars, mentioned below, to prevent PHP #from falling into CGI mode (It stays in CLI mode) #unset SERVER_SOFTWARE #unset SERVER_NAME #unset GATEWAY_INTERFACE #unset REQUEST_METHOD /usr/local/bin/php -- WBR, Yury Bokhoncovich, SysAdmin at FIS.
