I’ve a PHP script (an online survey software) which I’d like to execute along Radiant. I copied the script (which is working well under another non-radiant served domain) under /myradiantapp/public directory. I modified the /myradiantapp/.htaccess file as follows: RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} ^/survey/.\* RewriteRule .\* - [L] What I get is not parsed by radiant but the PHP script is not executed when I invoke this URL: [http://www.example.com/survey/index.php](http://www.example.com/survey/index.php) but it is simply shown by the browser as if it were a plain text file. I guess is a PHP configuration issue (since it seems radiant relinquished its control on the pph script file), but the very same script worked well on the same machine (with the same php and apache configuration). I’m running a vps on rimuhosting. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. –M ---

One thing you may want to check is that your php configuration was not specified in the .htaccess where your survey script previously lived. It may be that the server hasn’t been told to process .php files as php scripts in the new location.

I think whats happening is that your php files are still trying to be served by the ruby server. Try changing the proxy setup to something like this: ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /survey ! ProxyPass / [http://localhost:2502/](http://localhost:2502/) ProxyPassReverse / [http://localhost:2502/](http://localhost:2502/) Notice the extra line with “/survey !” in there. This should stop apache from sending requests that start with /survey to the proxy server. Hope it helps, or at least provides some other directions to look at.

Kev, you are great, man. The /survey ! directive did the trick! Many thanks. –Maurizio ---

All configurations parameters are in the httpd.con files: [http://pastie.caboo.se/15005](http://pastie.caboo.se/15005) It seems the only different setting is in the proxypass directive for the radiant-powered web site versus the static-php one. Any ideas, suggestion? Thank you.
