WP 2.0 not working (PHP 4.2.2 / PHP-CGI with PHP_SELF empty)

[Ozh]

wp-includes/vars.php now checks for empty PHP_SELF, but wp-settings.php uses $_SERVERPHP_SELF? a lot. On servers where PHP_SELF is empty, every page return a blank page.

patch using similar method as vars.php

incomplete fix.. still looking.

Try removing the checks for install.php in PHP_SELF and just checked if WP_INSTALLING is defined.

It seems that for once PHP_SELF is not the problem Here's how I've managed WP2 to run on my server :

• disable caching system (otherwise it returns blank pages only)
• add echo ' '; at the end of wp-settings.php (otherwise PHP returns an error 500)

I'll keep on my investigating to understand what's so special with my server...

(sorry if I look like spamming about my life that concerns no one)

best workaround I've found yet is :

• disable cache in wp-settings.php
  
• add : if (!strpos($_SERVERREQUEST_URI?,'/wp-admin/')) echo ' '; at the end of wp-settings.php (no echo makes error 500 for pages but admin section works fine)

I've resolved the second point : header("HTTP:1/1 $header $text") (line 2153 of functions.php) produced the Error 500. My host is running PHP 4.2.2, which is rather old now, this could be the culprit. Anyway, header("Status..") works the same.

I'm still looking after the caching troubles (still echo blank pages)

This should be fixed on WordPress's end also, since the download pages say we support PHP 4.2 or higher.

[3382] for PHP_SELF fix.

this has been resolved, right?
