Possible to remove /path/to/ez/index.php? under FastCGI?

Wednesday 15 August 2007 6:56:30 pm

we are running mod_fcgid quite successfull under apache2

1.) move your site to the docroot
2.) apply the rewrite rules via .htaccess

Options -Indexes

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine On

#Clustered setup switch
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^/var/([^/]+/)?storage/images(-versioned)?/.*  /index_image-common.php [L]
        
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webdav\..*
RewriteRule ^(.*) webdav.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^soap\..*
RewriteRule ^(.*) soap.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt - [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml - [L]
RewriteRule ^var/cache/debug.html.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^var/[^/]+/cache/debug.html.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^var/storage/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript|flash)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^share/icons/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?|flash)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

3.) set ForceVirtualHost=enabled
4.) set DefaultAccess=eng
5.) set RemoveSiteAccessIfDefaultAccess=enabled

One wrinkle to add to this; my site runs on a shared server which means I have no direct control over php.ini. I want to be able to tweak the settings available in php.ini, but this means I have to jump through a few hoops on the server to use a custom php.ini file.

Specifically, I have to add these lines to .htaccess in the webroot:

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi /php.fcgi

The php.fcgi file contains these lines:

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/path/to/my/php/config/"
export PHPRC
exec /path/to/php4-fcgi

The problem is that adding the two lines to .htaccess causes the rewrite rules to enter an infinite loop. The support people at my hosting center believe that nothing can be done about this; if I want to use a custom php.ini file, the rewrite rules won't work. If I want the rewrite rules to work, I don't get the custom php.ini file.

Anyone crack this nut already?

Cheers.

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/path/to/my/php/config/"
export PHPRC
exec /path/to/php4-fcgi

AFAIK PHPRC just works for php5... It might be the case the the fcgi setup just works wif you add it over apache conf and not .htaccess.

I use it like this...

DefaultInitEnv PATH "c:/php;c:/oracle/instantclient_10_2;C:/WINDOWS/system32;c:/WINDOWS;c:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem;"

Hi,

Long time ago, I did manage to have it run without mod rewrite.

Basically, the idea was to have a custom 404 php file, that would call the index.php

Did work, but that's a hack and you'll be on your own for that one as no one has such a config. Beside if you don't have access to your .htaccess, it probably means you don't have enough power/cpu/memory to make ez runs properly.

I'd suggest to find another provider.
