Installation problem

[Karsten Weinert]

Hello!
Trying to install cgi PHP 4.3.4 on my win98 computer, I am stuck. When
applying php.exe to a file test.php containing '<?php phpinfo();?>' via
the command line, it produces the desired result. But when I try to
access the same script via the browser (IE5), it just shows "No input
file specified." I am using a simple python script as webserver (using a
slightly modified version of CGIHTTPRequestHandler.py), which calls 'php
test.php ""' and does not detect any error. I also tried Xitami, which
gives the same result ("No input file specified.").

What am I doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated, kind regards,
Karsten.

I would *guess* the problem is with your simple python script webserver
- I've not heard of it - Are you sure PHP is supported under it? You
might find yourself with more trouble than its worth trying to configure
it - Why not install Apache with PHP? I had it running on my
win98/266mhz laptop with 96mb of ram, with mysql and dreamweaver and it
ran fine'ish (a little slow but it was for my own development, not as a
webserver).

Hello,
finally I found my mistake. I missed to set doc_root in php.ini correctly.

I think some day I will switch to Apache, but for now this simple script is O.K.

Kind regards,
Karsten.
