Re: Php - "No input file specified." when i try to run a php script on a web server

Thanks.

The problem is,

It doesn't run any files with php extension. It will say "no input file specified"

a simple

<?php echo "hello world";?>

doesn't work

OK, one other thing to try before contacting the host.

Edit your .htaccess file (or create one in the root of your web space if it doesn't already exist) and add this:

AddType text/html .php .phps
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

If that doesn't work, then Apache's AllowOverride setting for your web space does not have FileInfo (which allows for user modification of file types). Nothing you can do about it but contact them.
