CGI Shebang/Members area

[JohnXWA]

The VB3 download options have been useful, i'd like the same for VB2 even if it's just the CGI Shebang. Which files need the CGI Shebang if I have to do it manually?

Thanks.

As far as I know its only specific web servers which have to run PHP as a cgi and not as a filter or module.

I don't know any off hand but it would have to be every php file.

All the files that are executed by the server need the line.
Any files included or required don't need them.
All files in the main dir, index.php, showthread.php and such need it and all files in admin root need it. No need to add it to global.php, config.php or any file in any of the sub dirs.

Just a question, but if you added the line to global.php in all of the directories, wouldn't the rest of the files pick it up as well?

Just a thought I had, I have no clue how cgi shebangs work.

[Freddie Bingham]

No, the server does not know global.php is coming along and so never gets to it because of the missing shebang in the main file.

Only if you are running PHP in CGI mode, which is not recommended.
