Hi, Well, i Know that ez publish doesn't work with PHP with CGI and we wrote a question about it a few days ago. a Patch was created by a user of the community but it doesn't work properly. It appears that about 50% of the install problems are about that CGI limitation. Will the EZ team try to find a patch ? Or at least give us a few hints to solve that problem ? It is really a major drawback for ez publish at the moment because lots of hosting providers won't change anything to their hosting plans... Francis.

Same here, but to be honest I don't think they will because they're too busy concentrating on pushing new features to worry about it.

But they definitely should, this is the biggest problem with eZp, affecting the most users. If they don't fix this, only a few lucky will be able to upload their eZp website to their hosting server. It's obvious that most hosting services use PHP as CGI, and eZp has got to take the consequence of that and make eZp work with the most popular environment. If not, they'll lose a lot of users and I'll lose my work assignment. No wonder i think eZ publish is a pain in the ass right now.

As you correctly mention eZ publish does not support cgi at the moment. There are a patch available in the forum which may or may not work. We will make eZ publish run in cgi mode, but I can't give you an excact date on when we will have this supported. --bård

I think we alla understand that the ez team has to work on new features but to me, event though it is not a "bug" it is really a major drawback ! And a major drawback for the spread of that framework for, as it was mentioned above, many hosting providers run php as CGI as well as numerous web appliances (ie Ensim).
My second thought is this. We are currently working on that patch but the ez website really lack a REAL community section where people could send email directly to a contributor (even an internal email of the forum) or share code (upload, download, show version numbers, let people add comments...). In fact, there is a community, why don't they use it or drive our developments in the right way ? They should open for example a "space" for that CGI problem where developers (among which ez developers) could share comments and code ! The community section of the ez website is really not used as it should to my opinion. Francis. Francis.

They have opened up a "space" haven't they? Isn't that what the contributions section is for? So we can share code... This particular one would probably be classed as a hack, wouldn't it? It's just nobodies put the code up there...

As James said, check the contributions section, where you can upload patches and add comments. I would also recommend checking out http://pubsvn.ez.no/, under community development. You can get write access to the community svn repository and possibly, others will help out on a particular extension/patch.

you are right James but the pb is that when you want to work on the code that section is not quite good (to me !). For example, when you upload your contribution, there is (apparently) no possibility to upload new versions when you comment on the code. So new contributors don't contribute ! they just download (or I missed something with the system).
But well, I'll upload our version of the patch this afternoon and I hope that you developers will help us work on it to make it much better ! Francis.

I had a look at the patch in contributions and modified it so that it also still runs with the module version of PHP. I tested only the admin section of ezp with it, but it seems to work all nicely. I'm about to commit this patch to SVN and it should make it into 3.4.0alpha1 so you can test it more thoroughly.

Great news Derick !
But you didn't change the one we uploaded in the contribution section ? Anyway, I hope others developers will be able to improve it ! Francis.

Thanks for the work everybody. Just wanted to let you know that I've been using the patched ezsys.php from SVN for the past ~3 weeks with an otherwise stock 3.3-3 install with no problems. It's on a nonproduction Apache 2 server with CGI PHP.

Hi Derick, I haven't see any information in the changelog regarding PHP CGI support in EZP 3.4x Alpha is the patch already there ? Any plan on this ?
Thanks for your time

Francis etc: We have V3.4 beta2 running on a host with PHP in CGI mode... Easy to istall and solid. Patch obviously in there. But its so sloooooow. And no possibility of acceleration of PHP in CGI that we can figure out. What next? Anyone with any pointers?.
