I think I found something for you to try when you ge tthe time. There is a bug about cakephp and cgi on apache servers. Here is the link: https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/66
The problem doesn't seem exactly like yours but, maybe the fix can help get rid of the cgi link replacements. The problem: --------------------- I've finally uploaded cake to my server and now I'm desperately trying to get it to work: When I remove the .htaccess files and uncomment the lines in core and index.php (BASE_URL) my cake urls (as genertaed by the helpers all look like: http://www.pauljholden.com/cgi-sys/php4/skunkworx/comments Which pulls up a screen like: 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. For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security. For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the manual page. Any ideas? Here is the instruction: ------------------------------------ I've solved this problem by changing a couple of lines of the cake index file and the core file, which allowed me to revert to using index.php?url= which works fine. In cake/index.php $elements = explode('/index.php?url=',$uri); // added ?url= In core.php define('BASE_URL', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'].'?url='); (There's an identical line in cake/index.php - but I think the core overwrites it, though it should really only be defined in one place) Deleted the .htaccess, etc. On Feb 8, 12:54 am, "apalankat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > i think it's installed as a CGI, and this is why it does the /cgi-bin/ > cgiwrap/ thing.
