I want to buy V3.0, providing it will work!

Hi, I wanted to buy Version 3, and I wil buy it today, providing my questions can be answered!

I realy need you guys to look at this.

http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4195 (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4195)

Its regarding trying to install V2.0 on my website. When I try to access the directory it always points to php-bin.

I emailed my service provider (which is not dreamhosts!) and they said this :

----------------------------------------------
The suggestion on that forum seems to be that in order to run this software, you have to run PHP as mod_php, rather than as CGI. We run PHP as a CGI process for security reasons (as described on the aforementioned link) so that's not an option I'm afraid. I notice Dreamhost say they've stopped running PHP as mod_php, and to be honest I'd be surprised if any hosting company out there would run PHP in this way on a shared server.

I notice there is a post on that forum that says:

"We did a bunch of trouble shooting last week and published a method in the Supporters Forum when running PHP as CGI on Dreamhost. It involves about 8 small changes and just takes a couple of minutes."

If you can find out from phpLD as to exactly what these changes are, we may be able to use that solution.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Can you (or anyone) confirm what these changes are? I dont want to spend money on this if its not going to work! I am DESPERATE to get it to work however so please help!

Kind Regards

Glenn, the solution has been found. It has to do with the path and a few simple modifications will be needed.

Now hopefully David will take my advice and put two separate available downloads. One with the path changes, and one that basically 99% of all other users use to install.

Nudge!

Should I just pay for it then come back here to the forum for the answers? I need to be able to inform my service provider of the changes to make to the server and I could do with a pointer as to where I can get this information from.

Cheers again

Is that really all it is? Just the way the path is defined? I thought is was something more complicated. Is this something that could be fixed real quickly using multi-replace to replace a few stings of text?

I gave up and used another script that uses a different method.

I think it sucks that 2% (if that high) of the hosts get to dictate the terms but then it is their ballpark. I am just moving my game elsewhere when my time is up.

sorry guys for non responding ooner. finally got some sleep. had to pull an all-nighter(work related)

Yes, there was solution when people had to run php as cgi. The latest ordeal was teh cgi-in folder was being appended. So David had the crew assemble and find the fix. I have never had a problem with running on dreamhost, but others have. Servers are rarely known to be configured exactly teh same. I wish they ghost their drive, because then they woudl be :p

Ok, fair shout, Im bloomin tired as well, drinking coffee all day gives me a right head ache.

So.... Who is David, will he be posting a solution, do I need to buy this and then PM him for the solution?

[David]

You can PM me details of your site where you have it installed it you like.
Of course we will help you get 3.0 installed after your purchase.
You said it is not Dreamhost. I think we will need more info.
Dreamhost is pretty unique, and I would be suprised if the solutions would be the same. There is a pretty good likelihood it will install without a hitch.

Another fantastic day! (6.16am) UK Time.

This sounds like a good deal to me!
