Geeklog Forums

For security reasons, my server requires php to be run as php-cgi. I accomplish this by placing



into my .htaccess file. When I don't do this, many parts of Geeklog do not function correctly, such as anything requiring use of the exec() command, among others.

Up until now, this hasn't been a problem.

I would like to be able to use url-rewrite, but whenever I activate it in the config.php file, I get the following error when trying to load a rewritten URL:

No input file specified.

Removing the .htaccess line fixes this, but introduces many other, unacceptable problems.

Has anyone gotten url_rewrite to work on their server when not using php as an apache module?

My hosting service is running PHP as a CGI - and url_rewriting works just fine there.

I'll send you a link to the phpinfo() output ...

bye, Dirk

Thanks, Dirk. It turns out my host (Dreamhost) hasn't set a flag in their php.ini needed to fix this problem with php-cgi, apache, and mod_rewrite. I was able to get most of the details from the following thread I found from Google:

So, it seems that I have two options:

1) Compile php myself and run it from my user directory
2) Get Dreamhost to fix it in their php.ini file.

Thanks again.

Sorry to bump this up but is this still the case recently?
