PvP Problem (404 when trying to fight someone)

[dekkon]

Im running my server at www.youareadopted.com/lotgd/ using version 1.0.3. In the pvp menu when someone clicks on 'attack' next to the person they want to fights name, a 404 Error comes up.

In the address bar, this is the url "http://www.youareadopted.com/lotgd/php.cgi?act=attack&name=<name of who i want to attack>"

and this is the error i get:

Not Found
The requested URL /lotgd/php.cgi was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


I have PvP turned on in the main settings, but for the life of me i cant figure out how to fix this.

have you posted this problem on www.dragonprime.net, which is the official coder's resource forum?

you will probably receive an answer much quicker there.

thanks, i i had searched this forum but didnt think to search the modders forum. I got it fixed by turning off 'run php as cgi" (which i wasnt even aware i had turned it on)

php.cgi? is a big problem.

That url should have pvp.php instead. I have no idea what on earth has gone wrong there to cause that.

PHP has an option to run as CGI, for some security (from what I understand) amongst other reasons. However, doing so does cause some problems, and this is one of them.

The problem has been documented a few times in DragonPrime, and turning off 'run as cgi' has fixed it every time.
