PHP module kills mod_cgi

[msaffitz]

I've been banging my head against the wall with this one for 2 days now. Hopefully a guru out there will point out what is probably blatantly obvious

I'm running Apache and PHP on a FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE box. I recently upgraded using the ports collection, and I noticed that all of my CGIs returned Internal Server Errors-- premature end of script. PHP works fine.

After many hours of tinkering (recompile, install, etc.) with PHP and Apache through the ports, I discovered that when I comment PHP out of the Apache config (meaning I comment out the AddModule/LoadModule lines), my CGIs work flawlessly. Adding the PHP module back in throws me right back to Internal Server Errors for my CGIs.

Here are the details:

Apache version 1.3.28
PHP version php-4.3.3RC2

both compile without errors

Thanks in advance for any help!! My (abridged) httpd.conf is attached

can you run php pages with the module line commented out

[msaffitz]

I assume you mean the php module commented out? no, my browser tries to download the php page-- file of type application/x-httpd-php

I can run PHP just fine when both modules are loaded. It's just that CGIs then don't work.

i don't think you can run cgi's when you have the apache module version running, you would need to install the cgi version of php, i believe

[msaffitz]

I was running CGIs (Perl, C, etc, but not PHP CGIs) and mod_php4 just fine before this error occured.

[stolzyboy]

so you can't do any cgi's with the php module line uncommented, or just php cgi's

[msaffitz]

When the PHP4 module is loaded (uncommented) I can't run any (Perl, C, etc.) CGIs, however I can run PHP4 pages/scripts just fine.

I've never tried (nor do I want to) to run PHP as a CGI.

'tis very odd, your problem, that is, you may want to wait for tsinka to come over yonder to help, he/she is usually good for install/config type problems

[msaffitz]

ok, thanks. I appreciate it.
