installing php - pws

Post by markoid »

Don't know if I'm in the right forum for a dumb newbie q?
Still trying to get past square 1.The installation notes say -

Due to a security issue with PHP on various win32 webservers, we have
enabled functionality to disable calls to the php binary directly. This
has meant we have 2 new php ini lines:

cgi.force_redirect 0|1
cgi.redirect_status_env ENV_VAR_NAME

What is ENV_VAR_NAME referring to......a path?or what????????
Win 98,pws

Have you tried setting cgi.force_redirect to 0? I know that's what you have to do for IIS so I'm wondering if it's the same for PWS. You shouldn't have to worry about cgi.redirect_status_env.
