    Hi,

    since summer 08 the following sites http://www.bkwasser, www.fgku.de, http://www.bkabfall were controlled by the site manager without any problem.

    Yesterday I visited http://www.fgku.de. The homepage displayed accurate. If I try to reach the other pages via the navigation a with page with the message: “No input file specified” appears.

    Any idea why this page is shown?
    No changes where made in the last weeks.

    Thanks for your help

    If it worked before and you didn’t make any changes, something on the server has changed. You need to “force query strings” now. Basically, using index.php? instead of just index.php.

    Hi,

    what exactly do you mean with “force query strings”?

    sue, yes it answer it and I tried to change the settings as written.
    But I had still the same error.
    So then I tried to solve the problem with the workaround, but without success.

    I need to get an answer from the provider which changes where made.

    I’ll give you a feedback, when the problem is solved.

    Thanks britta

    Addendum:
    the provider changed the apache version from 1.3 to 2.2 and PHP 4 will replaced by PHP 5

    We often see this happen when updating PHP from 4 to 5; the server admin should be able to tweak it to work though.

    http://www.fgku.de/index.php?/fgku/artikel/C53/ does work so this is definitely a force query strings issue.  Did you turn them on in Admin -> System Preferences -> Output and Debugging?

    Hi Lisa,

    I got some help from the service provider.
    He build an .htacces file which turns index.php in index.php?

    Following changes were made in index.php:
    $qtype = 2;
    $path_info = (isset($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’])) ? $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’] : @getenv(‘SCRIPT_NAME’);
    as recommended in the workaround article.

    The force query string is turned off = no.

    Now, each EE installation on this server runs precise!

    Thanks for your help & kind regards

    It might have been slightly easier to just turn on “force query strings”, ie use the question mark in your URLs, but whatever works for you 😊 Glad you found a solution, please post again as needed.
