Chinese Web Sites Using PHP

∟Integrating PHP with Apache Web Server

∟Permission Error on php-cgi.exe

This section describes the error of 'You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin-php/php-cgi.exe/hello.php on this server.' It is caused by the syntax change in the PHP directory access permission configuration settings.

Note that Apache Web server configuration setting has changed the directory access control syntax between 2.2 and 2.4.

If you are still using the old syntax on the PHP directory: 

<Directory "/local/php/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

You will see the following error in the Web browser: 

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access 
   /cgi-bin-php/php-cgi.exe/hello.php on this server.

You must use the new syntax to grant access permission to the PHP directory: 

<Directory "/local/php/">
   AllowOverride None
   Options None
   Require all granted
</Directory>
