Server API problem

mysticmoonboy

Hey Everybody;

I have a problem. I have host from godaddy and they use CGI as Server API and because of that I can not use allowoverride. it is ok at httpd.conf and I can just use php.ini to change it from CGI to Apache.

is it possible to change server api with php.ini or any other way for it?

Thanks

No; the Server API is talking about how PHP was integrated with the webserver. That's definitely not something you can change unless you have access to the config of the webserver itself.

What exactly are you trying to do? Apache's AllowOverride directive has nothing to do with PHP...

what I am tring to do is when user type like mywebsite.com/index/anything/anything I want to redirect them all to index.php. I did it and it works fine at local server and at my friend server but not at my server. I searched about it and learnt that it is because of server api.

In that case, you could use mod_rewrite (assuming your webserver is Apache and mod_rewrite is available) like so:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.php(/.*)$ index.php?path=$1

That would, for example, redirect index.php/id/29/foo/bar to index.php?path=/id/29/foo/bar/ .

I know that thats what I did but server api is cgi and it doesnt work, I need to change it but how???

The Server API has nothing to do with mod_rewrite though...
