PHP Modul / PHP CGI

[Blaky]

Hello everyone,

i am not a PHP developer, but just a s9y user.
I have a running s9y installation and my provider uses mod_php(?). Everything is fine. Now my provider is about to switch to "CGI Mode" and asks me if s9y is able to run in this modus. I don't have a clue what they're talking about. Can anybody help?

Yes, Serendipity runs fine in CGI Environments. You may need to tweak your .htaccess and remove php_value calls since those only work with mod_php.

Could you provide the .htaccess code with the php_value removed? My S9Y won't work with CGI environment.

Just remove the lines with "php_value" in your .htaccess file. You might also need to remove the "ErrorDocument" directive there.

I cannot provide a global code, as the contents of your .htaccess file are specific to your installation!

I looked into it and it turns out that I don't have an .htaccess file so I created onw without the php_value but it didn't work.

If you have no .htaccess, then Serendipity works fine. Please tell us your URL, otherwise I can't see what's not working?

Sure, but there is not that much to see. Here it is when the Php module is off:

The php.ini file customized is working fine:

Are you REALLY sure you don't have a .htaccess file? That's the only clue I have. Note that many FTP programs do not show files that start with a "."!

You'll need to ask your server admin for Error logfiles, there must be an entry about the 500 error in that.
