I'm posting this as a new thread as I wanted to get a title into the forum for others to spot easily in the hopes we can start actively discussion running ez publish through php.cgi setups. My hosting company has major restrictions on php as an apache module. base directory restrictions are only the beginning. however php-cgi is fully accessible and would seem to be fine, except that, according to multiple other posts in this forum, ez publish does not run under phpcgi properly. The problems when trying to run via php.cgi seem to vary, but most seem to result in failure. My installation attempts when running via php-cgi result in not being able to get off of the main page (as myself and other posters have noted elsewhere in this forum).
QUESTION 1:
Has anyone had any success running via php.cgi
QUESTION 2:
What is the difference between php-cgi and php as a module that would break ez pub? Permissions? I'm exploring this, but a dialogue on this point might be helpful.

I have to admit... I am concerned with the lack of discussion on this topic that clearly seems to affect many of us. Specifically, the lack of addressing this known bug/problem by the ez staff. Is anyone watching these threads?? -T

The open_basedir problem is explained here:
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/install_configuration/open_basedir_problems As for running eZ publish under php-cgi we've never tried this here. Could you give some instructions on how to run PHP as cgi?

I am running apache as a module (Apache2) with the most recent version of PHP (4.3.2RC1) and I still am encountering the same problem. I get the admin logon screen, and eneter the admin/publish... It tries to take me to: http://www.sitename.com/ezpublish/index.php/admin/user/login/ To which I get a 404 page can not be found error. Any ideas? The debug tracker is on, and on the logon page I have:
Timing: Apr 25 2003 11:09:56
Script start
Timing: Apr 25 2003 11:09:56
Module start 'user'
Timing: Apr 25 2003 11:09:56
Module end 'user'
Timing: Apr 25 2003 11:09:56
End So nothing wrong there. Please help! -T

Information on running PHP as CGI can be found at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.cgi-bin.php Note that this isn't too uncommon; as Tray notes, many of us face this on virtual hosting environments. To be frank, at the end of the day I couldn't, despite many hours invested, solve this issue. I've installed an alternate CMS to manage my personal site as it was sufficient, in most ways, for the job. I still use ezpub on sites for clients as I can install 3.x on my company's dedicated host.

Ethan- It is unfortunate that this has not been solved, as I, too, have switched to an alternate CMS, and can not in the foreseeable future see changing to EZ, given the time sink in setting up a website. I was at a pivotal point in my client architecture/changeover system, which would have made a switch to an alternate CMS doable.... That point has passed now - and I, unfortuantely, see EZPublish in the rear view mirror... as I move forward.... It's sad... I was hoping to utilize this system as I had heard such great things about it. -T BTW: Which CMS did you end up choosing?

I too have this problem running on IIS 5.1 on XP. Can't seem to get past whatever page I set as default. Is there an answer to this one or should I stop wasting my time and move on as the last two posters did? Jim

Before you move you should try setting the PHP memory limit to more than 8MB to rule out that this causes the problem. Try 16MB or even more.

Question :: has the PHP CGI problems been resolved in ez 3.2 ? or does the patch still work in 3.2 ? http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/install_configuration/my_final_patch_for_phpcgi Idea :: Could I try this to get around the " initial " large amount of memory need by ezpublish. Install ezpublish on another machine then move the folder and the database to my virtual host? are there any issues with doing that? thanks

Ricky that link does not work any longer. I think it's unfortunate when developers chose to censor a problem rather than fix it. History has proven that it is not healthy for an web application, or any other application for that matter, to take a position of telling end users to change their systems instead of working for wide scope compatibility. PHP in CGI mode is actually not all that uncommon that it shouldn't be addressed here. Furthermore, the only link I could find to a patch (your link above) which could provide a starting point for fixing this problem has been removed from the forums. All in all this is very frustrating.
The past is past and cannot be changed, while the future is shaped by action taken in the present.
