ID: 21833 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment:
I have *NOT* experienced this requirement with PHP installed as a CGI on my Win2K/IIS5.0 installation. (I just have "c:\php\php.exe" entered in my IIS5.0 setup). Some research needs to be done to determine when and why it is necessary. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 22:34:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this modification specific to (required for) IIS 5 and not IIS 4? Even so, does adding it still allow IIS 4 to work with PHP CGI? This %s %s information appears in the user comments as well but needs to be put in the manual :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 22:15:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry, I forgot to include URL: http://aspn.activestate.com//ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq6.html Link: How do I configure Microsoft IIS 4.0/IIS 5.0 to support Perl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 22:07:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <?php phpinfo(); ?> This line produced the "No input file" output after I configured PHP on IIS 5.0 by following each step of installation instructions (I decided to configure PHP to work as a CGI script, not SAPI ) After several tries I understood what the problem is. I have an experience in Perl programming under Linux and Windows and I remembered that Active Perl 5.6 installation script adds not only the script name in Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog but also adds %s %s to the end. Quote from the ActiveState Perl installation docs: "To run Perl as a CGI application, type the full path to Perl.exe followed by %s %s. When a script is executed, the first %s will be replaced by the full path to the script, and the second %s will be replaced by the script parameters." This applies only to CGI mode. For ISAPI mode there is no need in these additional %s %s at the end. So I suggest that installation guide may be corrected like this: --- text --- Windows NT/2000/XP and IIS 4 or newer and PWS 4 on NT Workstation or W2K non server editions --- text --- If you want to use the CGI binary, do the following: Under 'Home Directory', 'Virtual Directory', or 'Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button, and then enter the App Mappings tab. Click Add, and in the Executable box, type: c:\php\php.exe %s %s (assuming that you have unzipped PHP in c:\php\). --- text --- And thats it! Here is also a URL to ActiveState website where I found the explanation for this %s spells :-))) Well, this is it. Everything else is working fine!
