PHP4 CGI No input file specified?

[Anon]

I'm trying to use php on the command line like I do perl. It works fine and from the command line. BUt trying to run a cgi script from the browser always give a "No input file specified." CGI using perl works fine.

I have a test1.cgi written in perl and a test2.cgi written in php. both simply output

Content-type: text/html
test

The perl one works from the web browser, the php one gives the no input file specified error.

PHP 4.0.5
Apache 1.3.20
Linux 2.2.18

Any idea?

Hi,

Did you ever get this issue resolved?

Thanks,

I forget what I did but I did get it fixed. I think after I compiled in PHP as a module I removed the entire php source tree and re-extracted the php.tar.gz and built the cgi binary from a fresh source tree. For some reason that helped. Thats all I can remember.

We experienced the problem you mentioned and spent hours fixing the problem.

What you have to do is add the line :-

Action application/x-httpd-php3 /path/to/php

underneath the part in the php.ini where it says:-
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

/path/to/php - is where the command line php program is stored.

Reboot apache and then everything should work.
