FW: [Mapserver-users] PHP mapscript, ms 4.0b, Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux)

[Benjamin Wragg]

Hi Erich,

Please be aware that not including the --enable-discard-path will result
in the following functionality being disabled (This is straight from the
PHP configure script):  

 --enable-discard-path   If this is enabled, the PHP CGI binary
                          can safely be placed outside of the
                          web tree and people will not be able
                          to circumvent .htaccess security."

Cheers,

Benjamin

That was it exactly. I had to remove the "--enable-discard-path" from
the 
./configure portion of compiling php-4.3.2, and it all worked after
that.
