Question to CGI Applications

[Dominik Eckelt]

Hello List,

I am sure somebody already asked a similar question, unfortunately I
did not find a thread in the message history.

Anyway: Following Problem:

I have PHP documents which should be served by the CG HTTP server.
I compiled stand alone executables of PHP4 and PHP5, PHP4 documents
end with .php and PHP5 with .php5.

The executables are in the /var/CommuniGate/cgi-bin/ folder.

The thing is that CG does not use this settings (I think). Because
when I request a *.php document, I get the plain file without code
interpretation from PHP.

Even when I set the log levels to maximum I can not see that CG
executes the PHP application.
What is wrong here?

You find a screenshot of my (simple setting) here:

Thanks,

Dominik

You are assuming that CGP's web interface is a Full blown webserver which is is NOT. Last I checked it will not support integration of PHP.

I'm sure support will chime in saying something similar.

CGP supports the integration of perl scripts as CGIs, so it should support PHP files as CGIs too. Of course it won't support it as Apache does, but you should still be able to serve them.

 

However, CGPro support CGI scripts only when they are located in the cgi-bin directory, for instance

 

http://yourserver/cgi-bin/yourscript.php

 

URLs like http://yourserver/~user/yourscript.php

will NOT be served by PHP.

 

CGPro's CGI doc is there: http://www.stalker.com/CommunigatePro/HTTP.html#CGI

 

The "CGI Directory" parameter is the hard path where CGI scripts are located, This path is relative to the CGPro base directory.

 

The URL to access the CGI scripts is always /cgi-bin/yourscript

CGPro does not have a PHP processor built into it. So you can use the php
scripts only as CGI ones, using a php preprocessor.

For this in WebAdmin -> Settings -> WebUser -> CGI applications you need to
specify the path to the directory with the scripts (e.g.
/var/CommuniGate/cgi-bin/), extension-processor pairs (e.g. php ->
/usr/bin/php) and then refer to those scripts as if they were CGIs:

<http://cgpro.server:user_port/cgi-bin/script.php>

This should work.
