Ursidae Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm trying to install PHP 5.2.5 on my computer running XP. I already have PWS setup. I've downloaded the latest PHP binaries (including the PECL binaries) from php.net and went through the manual installation. I think I have everything setup but I'm obviously missing something. Whenever I modify php.ini and restart IIS the changes don't appear to take effect. Do I need to do something other than restart IIS for my changes to PHP.ini to be picked up? I have a php file name test.php that contains the following: <?php // testing sessions // check to see if files are being created // in the session.save_path folder session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <p> The browser you're using is <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?> </p> <p> <!-- test the browscap setup --> Your browser's capabilities are: <br/> <pre> <?php print_r(get_browser(null, true)); ?> </pre> </p> <?php phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html> When i run //localhost/test.php I get a text file stating the following: <p>This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.</p> <p>For more information as to <i>why</i> this behaviour exists, see the <a href="http://php.net/security.cgi-bin">manual page for CGI security</a>.</p> <p>For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit <a href="http://php.net/install.windows">the manual page</a>.</p> I'm not sure what I need to do. I have cgi.force_redirect=0 in the ini file, but like I said it appears not to recoginzed. Any help would be appreciated.
