Topic: 403 with PHP install

[Triple_Nothing]

I had php running via the fcgid_module, but couldn't get it to successfully run any exec() commands, so trying to set it up to run via CGI from this how-to page:
http://www.thesitewizard.com/php/install-php-5-apache-windows.shtml

From the Apache error log I receive:
AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/Program Files (x86)/PHP/php-cgi.exe
any time I visit a .php page.

My httpd.conf file:
http://www.hellzoneinc.com/httpd.txt

A php file:
http://www.hellzoneinc.com/info.php

I'm sure it's a permission item somewhere being a CGI setup, but all I believe to grant it permission I think I've set. *shrugz*

Any ideas?

I found my error, or at least something that would fix it. I had to add "Require all granted" to my PHP's <directory> directive. Final outlook...

In 2.4 you can remove:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

In just this section? Or 2.4 doesn't use those settings anymore?

See,

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#run-time

Special there:
The old access control idioms should be replaced by the new authentication mechanisms, although for compatibility with old configurations, the new module mod_access_compat is provided.

mod_access_compat,

my experience is to not mix them, use either all new throughout or all old. The majority wins and the minority will 403.

In other words, if you have more sections using the old style than the new, all the ones with the new style will 403 ... and vice-verse.

Hi, I was getting 403 for every php file that was in a directory other than the default.

I found that I had to add "ExecCGI" as an option inside this <Directory></Directory> in the configuration file.
