where can i download php-cgi for redhat?

RedHat does not supply a package called php-cgi. I belive Mandrake does, though. You might try looking at

http://www.rpmfind.net

for a package by that name.

The RedHat-supplied PHP RPMs might also actually supply a stand-alone PHP interpreter which can be used as a CGI engine.

The source code from

http://www.php.net,

when compiled, can produce either an Apache module or both a module and a stand-alone PHP interpreter that can be used with CGI.

So it give you the option to chose cgi when compiling it?

 

[sleipnir214]

Nope.

I told the configure script only to create an Apache module. It created a standalone interpreter, too.

how do i tell the configure script to create an Apache Module

 

[sleipnir214]

I run PHP as a shared module, so I hand the configure script the input "--with-apxs=[path to Apache's apxs command]"

That makes it mod-php not cgi-php right?

Here's how I run the configure script:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-openssl --enable-bcmath --with-dom --enable-ftp --with-mysql=/usr --with-zlib --with-mcrypt=/usr --with-curl --enable-calendar --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-exif

Once I've run configure, then make, then make install, I have a PHP module installed in Apache and also a standalone PHP interpreter which can be used as a CGI script interpreter.
