Ok, surely confusing... Here some details: I use a cgiwrapper (from http://ftp.umr.edu/pub/cgi/cgiwrap/) to wrap CGI scripts. This wrapper works without problems. If I put CGI scripts for different languages, it does call the cgi script (e.g. it does find the correct script), put does not provide the correct SCRIPT_FILENAME. But this SCRIPT_FILENAME is important if I wan't to use PHP in CGI mode... Without that, PHP works not in CGI mode with MultiViews. >How-To-Repeat: Create a simple CGI-Skript, for example: ------------------ #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; while (($key, $val) = each %ENV) { print "$key = $val<BR>\n"; } --------------------------- Store that Skript as 'printenv.en.wrap' and 'printenv.de.wrap' on a apache server. Get cgiwrap from http://ftp.umr.edu/pub/cgi/cgiwrap/ and compile it: ./configure --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --with-httpd-user=wwwrun --with-cgi-dir=cgi-bin cp cgiwrap /somewhere/wrapper/ ; chown 0.0 /somewhere/wrapper/cgiwrap ; chmod 4111 /somewhere/wrapper/cgiwrap Configure apache: Options ... MultiViews AddHandler cgi-script-w .wrap Action cgi-script-w /cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /somewhere/wrapper/cgiwrap/user/ Call the printenv cgi: http://server/path/printenv You will see the output of printenv, put no environment variable includes the complete file name (e.g. printenv.en.wrap or printenv.de.wrap) This file name in the Environment is needed for PHP to read the file.... >Fix: Setting the SCRIPT_FILENAME to the real file name in all cases. Remember, it is set if the internal cgi mechanism is used or if the php executable is used directly in the above Action statement. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
