AcceptPathInfo / CGI system check

Monday 08 January 2007 6:43:36 pm

I've being testing eZ 3.9 on a new dedicated server. The server has Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.4.4-0.dotdeb.3 (including eaccelerator & Suhosin) I also installed a Webhost control panel IspConfig.

I get an error in the system check: 1. AcceptPathInfo disabled or running in CGI mode

But I think I installed php as module. When I check a info.php page I get following, so I think php is installed as module:

Server API 	Apache
Loaded Modules 	mod_php4

My question is how can I confirm that php isn't loaded as cgi (because even if I installed it as module I don't know if the control panel changed this...) - do these lines confirm it?

I have installed eZ Publish and all seems to work, except, that the website loads slow (I have to test this more and perhaps I will remove Suhosin to gain more speed)

Thanks for the info. Anyway I found at http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/configuration/configuration/ez_publish_running_on_a_cgi_version_of_php that if the server would have PHP as CGI the url would be http://example.com/site/index.php?/articles.new or eZ wouldn't work...

I have two sites on this server one with uri and other with host configuration and the urls are like:

http://example.com/site/articles/new

and

http://example.com/site/index.php/articles/new

So this should demostrate me that the server is not running PHP as CGI.

Only that's not how you tell if 'something' is running as CGI,
or what CGI is all about with respect to php's usage of the term.
It seems as though you confuse url style with a notion of php-cgi configuration ...

The only problem I hear you commenting on with accuracy is slow performance
which has more to do with your own server + eZ publish configuration and your
own specific use of eZ publish and the functional + performance considerations
probably need to made by you for your site.

Things like which features or configurations to use for optimum performance.
There are much better topics available in the forum for that than this thread.

ps. some hosting providers only provide php via cgi mode for performance reasons ... just most often not in your interest.</i>
