I'm running apache in the non-cgi mode currently but i've found a script i want to use that has to have it running in cgi mode in order to work.. is there anyway i can "trick" the software or run it in both modes? (not too confident i can) or even run a seperate instance of it in cgi mode?
Just curious, why would you need to run it in CGI mode? I assume you're running Apache as a module. There might be some stuff in php.ini about cgi compatibility mode, i don't know. Does the script want the apache server in cgi mode or php?
The only difference that a php script would have when used with /usr/bin/php (or php.exe) is that the first line would contain a she-bang #!/usr/bin/php line.
