Mike M	Tuesday 05 July 2005 8:49:49 pm Hi, I've searched around quite a bit on the site and have found many similar issues, but nothing that has definitively solved my problem. I'm attempting to run EZpublish 3.6 on a hosted shared server, running linux, Apache 1.3, MySQL, and PHP 4.3.1. Although the normal setup goes well, I am continually plagued by the php cgi problem where it needs the URLs to have a ? after index.php (needs http://site.org/index.php?/news). Manually adding the ? does make all of the links work correctly, although I can't login due to redirects. The installer says that AcceptPathInfo doesn't work on apache 1.3 installs...is there any way to get EZPublish to run on this box? Is there a modification i can make to htaccess to add the ? after index.php? Thanks!

Mike M	Wednesday 06 July 2005 12:42:36 pm I take the last message back. The .htaccess file did not help. It appears I have purchased a barebones Apache/MySQL/CGI hosting plan without mod_rewrite, shell, or modular php (all php cgi). :( Is there any hope for me to get eZ up and running in this environment? As I see it, the only thing holding me back is the lack of a ? following index.php. There has to be some way to make this work, right??

Hi,

I've searched around quite a bit on the site and have found many similar issues, but nothing that has definitively solved my problem.
