    We recently moved to a new server and one of our clients is getting the following error:

    “No Input File Specified”

    We are running both PHP4 and PHP5 on the server, and the only way I can get anything to display is to run PHP4 in CGI mode using .htaccess (that’s when I get this error).

    Site is running 1.6.2 but I’ve heard we can’t upgrade to the newest version on the 1.x branch because we’re using the multi relationship module and my developer mentioned it wouldn’t work with 1.6.8-9.

    So what are our options? Our client is understandably upset but we don’t have the resources to redo the backend of their site right now. There has to be a way to configure the new server similar to the way the old server was setup to get this working.

    Any ideas?

    You’ll need to force query strings. This works: http://www.selfstoragezone.com/index.php?/amenities/detail/free_truck_rental_with_move_in/

    Note the question mark?

    Couldn’t force query strings… because the site was several years old it would break all the old incoming links from other sites.

    We did find a way around though—changing the cgi.fix_pathinfo variable in the PHP4 php.ini file fixed the problem.
