apologies for not getting back to you. this works fine with apache.
set cgi.force-redirect to 1 in php.ini and restart your computer. it should work fine after that. -----Original Message----- From: Thales [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 11:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DOC] Server Hi everybody! It's me again. Please, somebody, help me! I need this PHP working fastly! I have a page to finish and I cannot make it run even in Apache! I tried Apache, PWS and Xitami, and in all of them it had the same error when I tried to load a page in PHP: "Security Alert! PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set. This variable is set, for example, by Apache's Action directive redirect. You may disable this restriction by recompiling the PHP binary with the --disable-force-cgi-redirect switch. If you do this and you have your PHP CGI binary accessible somewhere in your web tree, people will be able to circumvent .htaccess security by loading files through the PHP parser. A good way around this is to define doc_root in your php.ini file to something other than your top-level DOCUMENT_ROOT. This way you can separate the part of your web space which uses PHP from the normal part using .htaccess security. If you do not have any .htaccess restrictions anywhere on your site you can leave doc_root undefined. If you are running IIS, you may safely set cgi.force_redirect=0 in php.ini." If somebody knows how to resolve it, please tell me! Thank you all! See ya! Thales Medeiros.
