Hi,

I uploaded a file to my web host yesterday so i could edit my pages through my website instead of using ftp, i'm not sure if it caused it but it seemed like it went down afterwards.
PHPfileNaviation (its available to download on this site).

Well i keep getting an error message now saying that pages cant be displayed (images can however)
And when i check my servers error logs i get

[Sun Apr 24 08:36:17 2005] [error] [client ] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/theuther/public_html/index.php

I've never changed this property so i dont know why its doing this.

Please could someone assist?

Thank you, Jon

Best guess: your host runs PHP as a server-side executable in the cgi-bin directory of the webserver, instead of as an Apache module?

You'll need to contact them about it, I expect. Look at their site docs first; perhaps it's a FAQ or something; maybe you have to turn on this option (via .htacess files? ---- dunno; it's an Option under httpd.conf, but you probably don't have access to that, eh?) I guess it's even possible that you have to install it yourself, but I don't know much about your service (I have enough trouble with mine, and I'm my own host :D )

At any rate, hope this helps....

Thanks for the reply dalecosp.

It was quite simple in the end i just needed to add

Option ExecCGI

into my .htaccess file, i still dont know why it stopped in the first place though.
