Is this due to that PHP change that many others have discovered? Yes, the sites were working last night. Please help me understand what the issue is so it can be resolved.

You aren't the only one, I haven't even gotten a response back yet.

Dark Hedgehog - i think you have a problem with your scripts not running on the new php-cgi , if i knew how to fix it i would help you.

pwsolutions - i dont think you have the same problem becous you are getting a 500 error, mabye they are recompiling php on your machine and something went wrong, if that happend then they are working on it now.

Good luck guys, i hope it gets resolved soon.
Cheers,

What changes need they do according to the recent php changes?

thanks in advance.

Hi mblendinger,

First to make it clear i dont have these problems and i never heard of php running as cgi before you guys had these problems.

As far is i know we are still runing php as a module.

I had some time to kill and did a bit of research about this problem, it seems that some url rewrite scripts have trouble with php as cgi.

Dark Hedgehog is having problems with his phpnuke script wich sometimes come with a rewrite script/file and your mambo also comes with SE frienly urls i believe.

I could not find any quick solutions, and i could be wrong about all of this, whatever it is its something small cous alot of hosting companies run php-cgi for security reasons.

my 0.2$ , Good luck guys, lets hope support can fix your problems asap

Cheers,
Niels

I am not running phpnuke, I am running a different CMS, its called ocPortal.

And my adult portion runs Mambo, as with that, both CMS's run mod_rewrite.

And my adult mambo runs well.

It seems your site is up again Dark Hedgehog, Now i see its ocportal, google's cache wasnt uptodate i gues.

Most importand thing its up and running.

Cheers

If you have problems with the sites please open a trouble ticket

Yeah, I don't know what happened, but, i'm glad its working again

PHP is running as a CGI module.

This will cause problem with a poorly coded scripts, however it is much more secure.

This is helpful. I've opened a general support ticket in FineDesk.

The scripts are not poorly coded. But even if they were, I fail to see how a file containing only this would throw an error:



Yet, error out it does.

Interestingly enough, when I SSH to the server and run the following from the command line:



which is the file containing the the code above, it outputs perfectly to the console. However, adding the path to PHP at the top of the file as such:



has no affect whatsoever. Unless I've somehow got the path to PHP wrong which is doubtful.

Looking forward to this being resolved as all my domains are currently hosed.

PHP is a CGI module. You can't use command line.

This is happening to me too and I just opened a support ticket. I don't have any PHP on my main page so I don't think its the PHP thing that is affecting me.

Did anyone figure out the root cause of this?

Well, i think the process with suexec will be a little stressed (i'm detecting errors in a lot of my customers websites day to day).

But i think all will be fine soon, and it's for a better service.
