This list describes how to set up the PHP CGI binary to work with Xitami on Windows.
Note: Important for CGI users
Read the faq on cgi.force_redirect for important details. This directive needs to be set to 0. If you want to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] you have to enable the cgi.fix_pathinfo directive.
A server deployed in CGI mode is open to several possible vulnerabilities. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend yourself from such attacks.
Make sure the web server is running, and point your browser to xitamis admin console (usually http://127.0.0.1/admin), and click on Configuration.
Navigate to the Filters, and put the extension which PHP should parse (i.e. .php) into the field File extensions (.xxx).
In Filter command or script put the path and name of your PHP CGI executable i.e. C:\php\php.exe for PHP 4, or C:\php\php-cgi.exe for PHP 5.
Press the 'Save' icon.
Restart the server to reflect changes.
