I think it's a PHP or Apache bug. PHP is looking at SCRIPT_FILENAME as the
program to run, while Apache is settign SCRIPT_FILENAME to the path of the
php binary (/var/www/cgi-bin/php), while PATH_TRANSLATED is the location of
the actual script.

I'm not sure which behaviour is correct, or how to get them to look in the
same place, but a simple workaround is to  build a wrapper around PHP to
copy the PATH_TRANSLATED environment (CGI) variable into SCRIPT_FILENAME.

/var/www/cgi-bin/php:
#!/bin/bash
export SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED
exec /usr/local/bin/php

Using shell scripts for CGI isn't particularly safe, although that one is
simple enough that I don't think it'd be a problem... No guarantees though.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Linux RedHat 9.0 php/mapscript installation

Dear List !

The brief description of the problem:

I am porting php/mapscript application
(php-4.3.2/apache-1.3.27)
from Windows to Linux

Linux is Red-Hat 9.0, php is 4.3.2, apache is 1.3.28
installed in /etc/httpd and /var/www/ as typical.

mapserver-3.6.6

The installation flags and options are below.  All compiles
fine.  But does
not run at all. It did not even come to
mapscript. The php itself does not work with apache as cgi .

When I try to run simple

<?php
  // nothing works
  dl("php_mapscript.so");
  phpinfo();
?>

gives

--

which means that php simply not working whether I use dl(..) or
not.

I tried also httpd-2.0.47 etc.  same results. ALso I tried from
tarball
(Linux 9.0 installation) of apache/php . Same results.

The possible options are:

--Install older / stabler RedHat (8.0 for ex, 9.0 is very new)
--Install apache 1.3.27 or older
--try php-4.3.0 or 4.2.x until I have at least apache-php as cgi
working,
then put mapscript there.

Any ideas on which Linux/apache/php/options or simly what I am
missing ?

Thanks a lot
