I have a CodeIgniter app that I deployed to a server with php 5.2 and my dev box has 5.3, and some stuff doesn't work anymore. I didn't want to upgrade php and risk the other app on the server having issues. Anyway I compiled a custom PHP and added the following to a single .conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zcid.conf with all the other conf files.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/cid/app
ServerName sub.example.co.nz
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "/var/www/cid/app">
authtype Basic
authname "oh dear how did this get here i am no good with computer"
authuserfile /path/to/auth
require valid-user
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|createEvent\.php|/cgi-bin)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
AddHandler custom-php .php
Action custom-php /cgi-bin/php53.cgi
</Directory>
In /var/www/cid/app I have the cgi-bin folder and the php53.cgi that I copied from /usr/local/php53/bin/php-cgi
But now when I navigate to the subdomain it says:
The requested URL /cgi-bin/php53.cgi/index.php/ was not found on this server.
And if I try to browse to /cgi-bin it says (what it is supposed to?):
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ on this server.
Quite confused now. Anyone know what to do here? Thanks :)
