php-cli and php-cgi

[wtfbrb]

Hey All,

On my last update I decided to do ./build all d with the following options.conf:

#PHP settings. default_php possible values - 4 or 5, php5_ver - 5.2 or 5.3
default_php=5
php5_ver=5.2
php4_cli=no
php4_cgi=no
php5_cli=no
php5_cgi=yes
zend=no

#Possible values - 5.0, 5.1
mysql=5.1
mysql_inst=no
mysql_backup=yes

#Possible values - 1.3, 2.0 or 2.2
apache_ver=2.2

#Web applications
phpmyadmin=yes
atmail=no
squirrelmail=yes
roundcube=no
uebimiau=no

#Mail options
exim=no
mail-header-patch=yes
dovecot=yes

#Statistics
awstats=no
webalizer=no

#FTP options
proftpd=yes


#Jailed shell (beta)
jail=no

#CustomBuild options
custombuild=1.1
autover=no
bold=yes
clean=no
clean_old_tarballs=no
clean_old_webapps=yes

#Cron settings
cron=yes
[email protected]
notifications=yes
da_autoupdate=no
updates=no
webapps_updates=yes

#CustomBuild 1.2 settings
php6_cli=no
php6_cgi=no
php_ini=no
#Possible values - recommended or dist
php_ini_type=recommended
cleanapache=no
fileserver=1
eximconf=no

However running php -v, we get this:

PHP 5.2.13 (cli) (built: Jun 19 2010 23:44:13)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with Suhosin v0.9.18, Copyright (c) 2002-2006, by Hardened-PHP Project

Any idea why after building everything again suddenly it says cli?

I'm not a php expert, but my best guess is that when your run php from the command line you're running it from the command line.

No, that's not necessarily circular reasoning.

Create a file with this code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Try to "call" this file from you favourite browser: I'me sure that you can find specific section with "php FastCGI".

As jlasman wrote, you're using php by CLI.

If you want to have php-cgi from shell (you can have problem by calling script with cron) you must create symlink from /usr/local/bin/php to /usr/local/bin/php-cgi

I pulled my hair out for 10 hours trying to figure out why my CGI Wrappers would spit out the shell script and not run the code.

"PHP4 needs a specific configuration so that it won't try to execute the starter script.
Edit /etc/php4/cgi/php.ini, search for cgi.fix_pathinfo and set it to 1.

If you don't do this, PHP5 will work fine (it has cgi.fix_pathinfo compiled right in), but PHP4 will simply output the starter script. (You can even put <?php phpinfo (); ?> inside the starter script and will see the PHP information.)"
