James Packham	Friday 21 May 2004 4:50:30 am You should really submit this as a bug and offer your suggested fix, if you want to make sure that the ez crew give it a look over - The forums are community supported, so there's no guarantee that they'll read this. If you've already done this (I had a quick look in the bug reports and couldn't see it) then you can probably ignore this :) Regards, James
Peter Quennell	Friday 21 May 2004 7:51:01 am James: Excellent suggesstion. I will try to do something useful overn there. I'm really just the amateur here - the corporate manager - and normally just lurk. But I did find some 30 posts in half a dozen threads on this same problem, earlier in this forum. *** There is an important addition to the above fix from Geo Carncross of internetconnection.net [quote] It helps that I'm familiar with similarly shaped problems... One also needs their [EZ Publish's] php.ini file to contain: cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 [/quote]
Nick B	Sunday 15 August 2004 10:37:01 pm Hi Peter, Can you tell us whether this was fixed in the latest version or not? Also, the line numbers have changed so I can't try to apply the fix myself. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Steve Schang	Saturday 25 September 2004 4:45:25 pm To get EZPublish-3.4.2 to work on a shared hosting plan with PHP installed as a CGI and SuEXEC I modified the ezsys.php file. Before modifying ezsys I could install EZPublish with no problems using the install wizard. However, I could never access ../index.php/plain_admin. EZPublish would always default to the index.php page. Here is what I changed lib/ezutils/classes/ezsys.php Line 756 Change $phpSelf = eZSys::serverVariable( 'PHP_SELF' ); To $phpSelf = eZSys::serverVariable( 'REQUEST_URI'); If anyone knows of any problems this may cause please let me know. I am new to PHP and only tried this fix based on the orginal fix proposed in this thread.
André R.	Sunday 05 October 2008 9:44:20 am From a comment in the php doc: Note that PHP_SELF will not be equal to REQUEST_URI under Apache if mod_rewrite has been used to move one URL to another--PHP_SELF will contain the rewritten address, and REQUEST_URI will contain the URL the user sees in their browser. So the fix probably won't work if you use rewrite rules. EDIT: This fix isn't valid as of 3.4 and higher where a '?' is added to work around this. However that fix made all GET requests break, including search, so to really support cgi a better solution is needed. Another comment in the php docs to understand why PHP_SELF is used and why the '?' is added in cgi mode: Given a URL of http://www.example.com/Info.php/Page/Home Apache 2.2.4/Win32/PHP 5.2.2/Apache 2.0 Handler ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php/Page/Home Apache 1.3.37/Unix/PHP 5.2.2/CGI ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php Apache 1.3.33/Unix/5.1.4/FastCGI ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php (Sorry for spamming ths old thread..) eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
