LighTPD and PHP not working if outside of LightTPD folder
- by Marco83
I need to set up a simple web server with PHP on Windows XP that a number of different people will use for local testing.
I'm using LightTPD 1.4.30-4-IPv6-Win32-SSL and PHP 5.2.
So far I've created this folder structure:
tools/
LightTPD/
htdocs/
PHP/
I set up PHP as CGI and the document root as server_root + "/htdocs". It works fine (well, it's slow but I don't want to bother with FastCGI for now :) ).
My problem is when I try to put the htdocs outside of LightTPD folder, like this:
htdocs/
tools/
LightTPD/
PHP/
I update the document root to server_root + "/../../htdocs" and while static HTML pages work fine, PHP pages stop working (they return a "No input file specified"). I literally just change the document root, I didn't change anything in the php.ini or anywhere else. Please also note that I left all doc_root, user_dir and cgi.force_redirect to the default values in php.ini, and it works when htdocs is inside LightTPD, but not when I move it ouside.
Any idea of why it's breaking??
Here's my lightTPD.conf:
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_accesslog",
"mod_alias",
"mod_cgi",
"mod_status",
)
include "variables.conf"
include "mimetype.conf"
# THIS WORKS
server.document-root = server_root + "/htdocs"
# THIS DOESN'T
#server.document-root = server_root + "/../../htdocs"
server.upload-dirs = ( temp_dir )
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.pl", "index.cgi", "index.cml",
"index.html", "index.htm", "default.htm" )
server.event-handler = "libev"
url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.pdf$" {
server.range-requests = "disable"
}
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".cgi" )
server.errorlog = server_root + "/logs/error.log"
######### Options that are good to be but not neccesary to be changed #######
dir-listing.activate = "enable"
#### CGI module
cgi.assign = ( ".php" => server_root + "/../PHP/php-cgi.exe" )
status.status-url = "/server-status"
status.config-url = "/server-config"
