Our current setup has PHP scripts being served by Apache using mod_php
. We have just developed a new script that needs to be run through CGI (it's using pcntl
to fork off some processes) instead of mod_php
. Can someone give me an example configuration for this? Ideally we'd be able to have all the scripts run through mod_php
except this one, but if we have to run them all through, then I can live with that.
Server details: Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch
The current configuration is about as straight-forward as they come (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Thanks, in advance, for the help.

Don't use CGI: it works much slower than mod_php. The script that needs to fork can be launched using shell commands (
system()
function) and fork to it's heart's content :)If you still want CGI, here's a hint how to execute SOME scripts with CGI handler with
.htaccess
file: Running php4 and php5 along side each other.
