Digital Unix, Netscape Server, and PHP running in CGI mode.

PHP3 works fine.  I compiled PHP4 Beta 3 as a CGI with "-with-imap" and 
"-with-mysql" options,  then copied "php.ini-dist" to my /usr/local/lib/ and renamed
to php.ini.

[Everything works as expected up to this point]

Then I edit the php.ini and modify the doc_root entry to contain the directory
/u/php3 (where my php scripts are).  After making this change and trying
to execute a script,  the browser returns a "Server Error."   The Netscape 
server error logs the erroras follows:

[08/Jan/2000:18:29:28] failure: for host dial-up3.pcnet.miami.edu trying to POST
 /cgi-bin/php/webmail/login.php3, cgi-parse-output reports: the CGI program /u/c
gi-bin/php did not produce a valid header (name without value: got line "-------
--------------------------------")

If I then edit the php.ini file and delete the /u/php3 from doc_root.  Everything
works again.

Carlos.

Please verify that it?s still happening using the latest version of PHP (release 4.0.1pl2 or CVS).

Closed due to missing user feedback.
