Hi, It has been mentioned that the 3.4.0 series *should* work with PHP CGI, but I haven't seen any installation instructions. My preferred host is 1and1.com, which I've alsoe seen mentioned, though somewhat inconclusively. After I untar the 3.4.0b1 file, and setting up a database (on one of 1and1's remote perfora.net servers), I try to run the index.php file, but I just get an error 500/internal server error, not the web-based setup. Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas for other steps that I might need to take to get the 3.4.0 beta, which theoretically supports PHP CGI, up and running? Thanks, Rick

>> error 500/internal server error This could be caused by an entry in your .htaccess file that the server doesn't like. Try commenting out all lines, apart from the one about the directory index being index.php to rule this out. Regards, James

James, thanks for the suggestion. I edited the .htaccess_root file to comment out all but the directory index line, but still get the 500 server error. Has anyone gotten eZ publish running with PHP CGI in general or 1and1.com (shared hosting) in particular? Thanks, Rick

The .htaccess_root doest do anything !
Try rename it to .htaccess Before: can you run any php file in your host accout ? try something simple: create any php file with <?php echo "hello world"; ?>

Yes, like Axel says - this file won't do anything! It need to be .htaccess. In the past I've found that the lines which deny access to files can be particularly troublesome (on nvh setup, that is), but you may also have problems with mod_rewrite, so that is why I suggest you comment most of them out. I have it running as CGI, but only version 3.3-1. It works quite well, but of course you would be subject to the 3.3-1 bugs (which probably aren't as bad as in 3.4 beta, but we wait and see :) ). The choice of which you want to use is yours, but personally I'd got for 3.4, because it should go stable fairly soon anyway (at which point you can just upgrade). Try what Axel says is my advice :) Regards, James

Thanks Axel and James. So, I renamed the mostly commented out .htaccess file, and I placed the little "hello world" php file on the 1and1.com server. It runs fine, but I still get an error 500 on the eZ publish index.php. I have an email into 1and1.com, but since the simple .php file runs fine, I doubt they'll be too much help. Any other suggestions or installation steps that I may have missed would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Your url ends with a slash (yourdomain.com/) or with index.php ? (yourdomain.com/index.php)
try both.

thanks -- both index.php and just the domain name with the trailing slash give the same inconclusive 500 error.
