PHP4 as CGI (with Apache)

[Anon]

I installed PHP4 on a Linux server with Apache (1.3.12). I want to use it as CGI, and I set the extensions I want (.php, .cgi) to execute as CGIs (AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .php), and all those files have #!/usr/local/bin/php at the beggining.
The problem is that when I try to access any of the files I only get "No input file specified" in the browser. If I run php from command line, it works just fine. What is the problem/solution?

Thanx.

Hi,

Simply follow the installation instructions you can find about everywhere. Here is a summary, providing that you managed to install PHP4 all right.

open the httpd.conf in the apache\conf directory and add the following lines:

ScriptAlias /php/ "<path to php dir>" (e.g. c:/php)
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
..... add any other extension you would like to use.
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

I hope this helps.
