By using the CGI setup, your server
is open to several possible attacks. Please read our
CGI security section to learn how to
defend yourself from those attacks.
You need to complete the following steps to make PHP
work with OmniHTTPd. This is a CGI executable setup.
SAPI is supported by OmniHTTPd, but some tests have shown
that it is not so stable to use PHP as an ISAPI module.
Important for CGI users:
Read the faq
on cgi.force_redirect for important details. This
directive needs to be set to 0.
Install OmniHTTPd server.
Right click on the blue OmniHTTPd icon in the system
tray and select Properties
Click on Web Server Global Settings
On the 'External' tab, enter: virtual = .php
| actual = c:\php\php.exe (use
php-cgi.exe if installing PHP 5), and use the Add
button.
On the Mime tab, enter:
virtual = wwwserver/stdcgi | actual = .php,
and use the Add button.
Click OK
Repeat steps 2 - 6 for each extension you want to associate with PHP.
Note:
Some OmniHTTPd packages come with built in PHP support.
You can choose at setup time to do a custom setup, and
uncheck the PHP component. We recommend you to use the latest
PHP binaries. Some OmniHTTPd servers come with PHP 4 beta
distributions, so you should choose not to set up
the built in support, but install your own. If the server
is already on your machine, use the Replace button in Step
4 and 5 to set the new, correct information.
