[php] No input file specified

I'm running Anchor CMS and I just upgraded to version 0.8. When I try and run the installer I get a 'No input file specified' error. I believe it's more than likely a .htaccess problem but I'm not sure what the correct settings should be.

My site can be found here.

My .htaccess is set to:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase {base}

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ {index} [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>

I'm also using a GoDaddy as the hosting provider if that helps.

The solution for me was to remove white space in one of my helper files. The error listed two pages involved, a CI session file and one of my custom helpers.

In my case, I fixed it by butting the rules inside a LocationMatch Directive

<LocationMatch "^/.">
    #your rewrite rules here
</LocationMatch>

/. matches any location

I have the rewrite rules inside one of the .conf files of Apache NOT .htaccess file.

I don't know why this worked with me, this is my current setup

• Apache version 2.4
• PHP 7.1
• OS Centos 7
• PHP-FPM

Run ulimit -n 2048

And restart php/php-fpm

disabling PHP-FPM fixed my issue.

Update

All the previous reviews were tested by me, but there was no solution. But I did not give up.

SOLUTION

Uncomment the following lines in my NGINX configuration

   [/etc/nginx/site-avaible/{sitename}.conf]

The same code should follow in the site-enable folder

  #fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $ document_root $ fastcgi_script_name;

And comment this:

  fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME / www / {namesite} / public_html $ fastcgi_script_name;

I changed several times from the original:

   #fastcgi_pass unix: /var/php-nginx/9882989289032.sock;

Going back to this:

   #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9007;

And finally I found what worked ...

   fastcgi_pass localhost: 8004;

I also recommend these lines...

   #fastcgi_index index.php;
   #include fastcgi_params;

And even the FastCGI timeout (only to improve performance)

  fastcgi_read_timeout 3000;

During the process, I checked the NGINX log for all modifications. (This is very important because it shows the wrong parameter.) In my case it is like this, but it depends on the configuration:

  error_log/var/log/nginx/{site}_error_log;

Test the NGINX Configuration

 nginx -t

Attention this is one of the options ... Well on the same server, what did not work on this site works on others ... So keep in mind that the settings depends on the platform.

In this case it was for Joomla CMS.

Adding php5.ini doesn't work at all. But see the 'Disable FastCGI' section in this article on GoDaddy: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5121/changing-your-hosting-accounts-file-extensions

Add these lines to .htaccess files (webroot & website installation directory):

Options +ExecCGI
addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php

It saves me a day! Cheers! Thanks DragonLord!

I had the same problem. All I did to fix the issue was to modify my htacces file like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /crm/

Options +FollowSymLinks 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite.com [NC] 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301] 

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ [L]
</IfModule>

In my case, there were an error in the php.ini open_basedir variable.

It worked for me..add on top of .htaccess file. It would disable FastCGI on godaddy shared hosting account.

Options +ExecCGI

addhandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php

GoDaddy is currently (Feb '13) supporting modification of FastCGI for some accounts using PHP 5.2.x or earlier. See GoDaddy article "Disabling FastCGI in Your Hosting Account".
(In my case, this is apparently necessary to help get the current version of LimeSurvey (2.0) towards a running state.)

Citing http://support.statamic.com/kb/hosting-servers/running-on-godaddy :

If you want to use GoDaddy as a host and you find yourself getting "No input file specified" errors in the control panel, you'll need to create a php5.ini file in your weboot with the following rule:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

best easy answer just one line change and you are all set.

recommended for godaddy hosting.
