No input file specified. ?

mzanimephp

Hi, I'm making a site for client, and whever I click a broken (404) link it says "No input file specified." I tried using .htaccess to make my own custom 404 page but this doesn't work either-- I still keep getting that annoying "No input file specified." message.

Whats going on??

Here's the contents of my .htaccess file.

ErrorDocument 404 [url]http://accsv.org/page404.php[/url]
ErrorDocument 403 [url]http://accsv.org/page404.php[/url]

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^WebStripper" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^WebWhacker" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^WebZIP" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Wget" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^JOC" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "accsv.org" local_ref=1

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

<FilesMatch ".(gif|jpg|zip)">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=local_ref
deny from env=bad_bot
</FilesMatch>

I tried changing the 404 page to page404.html and still no luck.

Sounds as if you're getting a 404 looking for your 404 page, and PHP is being run CGI. Double check availability and correctness of all pathnames and file resources....

How do I do that? All I have access to is their lame user cpanel. And my host clearly stated that they give no htaccess support.

I'm gonna have to guess. Can you link from the document dir to the cgi-bin?

Is http://accsv.org/page404.php actually in the doc dir?

mzanimephp

I'm pretty sure. There is a folder called cgi-local, but I suppose thats outside the web root... it can't be accessed from a browser window so I suppose I'd need to use the full server path to reach it.

But why do you ask? There are atleast 10-15 .cgi files in there already but I'm not using them.

My working theory is that PHP is running CGI instead of mod_php and it's looking for the 404 script in the CGI folder, not finding it, and gritching, or at least that is what I think my working theory is ...

Hmm, doesn't sound right now that I type it out... :rolleyes:
