Blocked by security issues of running PHP as a CGI

Hello, I am endeavouring to set up PHP with Xitami web server, which I am able to run perfectly successfully by itself. However, when I try to run a PHP executable, I get the following error in the browser: Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive. I have taken a look at the php.ini file in the relevant section, and I have the following: ; cgi.force_redirect is necessary to provide security running PHP as a CGI under ; most web servers. Left undefined, PHP turns this on by default. You can ; turn it off here AT YOUR OWN RISK ; **You CAN safely turn this off for IIS, in fact, you MUST.** cgi.force_redirect=0 ; if cgi.force_redirect is turned on, and you are not running under Apache or Netscape ; (iPlanet) web servers, you MAY need to set an environment variable name that PHP ; will look for to know it is OK to continue execution. Setting this variable MAY ; cause security issues, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING FIRST. cgi.redirect_status_env=1 I have tried various combinations of force_redirect and redirect_status_env, but I still get the error. According to the manual, at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.cgi-bin.php, it is possible to use the above variables to sort the matter out. I would appreciate some explanation of this so that I can begin learning PGP!!!! Thanks very much, Paul Trimming
