Hello People! I am still struggling to get PHP up and running. I have used Installshield and all the defaults suggested. I am using Dreamweaver which in turn uses IIS at LocalHost. I use the suggested code :- Running under win2000 and IIS. <html> <head> <title>PHP Test 3</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <?php echo "Hello World<p>"; ?> </body> </html> I receive the following error :- "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 went to my PHP.INI file (Despite the InstallShield saying I needn't) and this is what I found:- ; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty. ; if PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you SHOULD set doc_root ; if you are running php as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS) ; see documentation for security issues. The alternate is to use the ; cgi.force_redirect configuration below doc_root = ; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~usernamem used only ; if nonempty. user_dir = ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. extension_dir = ./ ; Whether or not to enable the dl() function. The dl() function does NOT work ; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically ; disabled on them. enable_dl = On ; 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 = 1 cgi.force_redirect = 0 As we can see I MUST turn cgi.force_redirect to off and indeed it is. I therefore don't understand the security alert. The doc_root = is as InstallShield installed it. I have tried C:/PHP with no change in results. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong and suggest a solution. Many thanks Bob G. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
