ID: 9852 Comment by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Closed Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment:
Good Afternoon, I have seen many comments regarding PHP should be compliant with enterprise software. I would suggest that it is - UNIX and Apache are enterprise level solutions and PHP is a ROCK star on those platforms. Just because we are no forcing it to do things on an AXX Backward platform like MS W2k and XP is not a reason to complain. I have run into the issue, because I am having to rewrite our authentication scripts because the IIS CGI cannont handle a simple authentication redirect. Before you blame PHP, try looking at all the garbage hoops that IIS puts you through.

ASP.net ALSO SHOWS LOTS OF "CGI ERROR". I solve this problem by slowing down connection -- do not put src='xxx.php/asp' in your frame tag. use onload() handler to load page into frames with javascript AFTER the frame page is loaded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-29 14:00:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm happy to hear that most people are able to solve their CGI errors by changing the Windows Performance Options. We have Scott to thank for this little trick! Rasmus, I think what people are upset about is that this bug was closed. It's obviously a Micro$haft problem (big surprise) but even so, it's quite frustrating to feel like y'all don't give a dern :-( This is obviously not the case but closing the bug makes people think that you're not interested in finding a solution. Even if the problem is not the fault of PHP. On an unrelated note I'm *extremely happy* to see that you've included the php_zip.dll extension in php-4.3.0pre2-Win32.zip. SWEEEEEEEEEEEET! Now all we need is a solid php4isapi.dll ;-) Ottawa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-28 19:35:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] We fix what we can fix given our resources and the environment we are working in. In many ways M$ does not provide us with a level playing-field and as such you will find that PHP is much much stronger on non-M$ platforms where we are not hampered by closed-source, vague and often quite buggy apis. But thank you for your amazingly constructive comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-28 18:59:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was having major problems with this just as everyone else was so I changed my setting from being optimized for background processes to applications and everything seems to be working smoothly. That said, I am very disappointed with PHP, and I really hope that the developers learn from their mistakes... especially this one. This type of error cannot be tolerated, especially when it's been present for this long. Version after version... nobody seems to be paying attention to it. I'm sorry, but I think I will be moving to asp.net if php cannot handle the speed of our servers. I understand that bringing up asp.net in a PHP forum is not a good idea, however I'm just stating the facts. Farewell PHP, I might be back, but in the mean time I choose not to put my reputation into the hands of ignorant programmers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-28 08:41:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On our servers, we were recieving this cgi error a lot. I haven't installed the specific patch or updated MDAC. (web server - w2k sp3 iis 5, fast; mssql server - w2k sp3 mssql 2000, fast; all on a 1gb private net). My web server was set to background by default. I changed to APPLICATION and things have been working well. It seems that folks are using the background setting after the updates and patches. Don't know if this is of any use, but I thought I'd let people know. Also, I only recieve the CGI error on the IE browser. I have yet to recieve it on Mozilla.
