Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. Can't Post

Hi,

I have downloaded the trial version of CMS Builder nad followed the upload instructions.

I am having trouble in step number 6 .

I entered all the details in the http://www.example.com/cmsAdmin/admin.php and click Finish I get the following error message

Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.

This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.

For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security.

For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the manual page.



Please help us to solve this and evaluate the trail software

Thanks

HI Aravind, welcome to the forum!

A few questions:

1) What version of PHP do you have?
2) Do you manage the server or is it with a web hosting provider?
3) Do you have any other PHP scripts running on the server?

I think this is something to do with how PHP is installed on your server. If you'd like I can login and take a look to see if it's something we can fix or workaround in the software. If you'd like me to do that you can email ftp login details to dave@interactivetools.com (email only - don't post in forum).

Other than that let me know the answers on the questions and we'll see what we can figure out.

Hope that helps.

Hi Aravind,

I sent you a reply via email. But for anyone else who has a similar problem and reads this in future. The program was having trouble finding itself and was linking to the wrong place. I added a patch to fix this and it will be in v1.10.
