[SOLVED] PHP inside OTRS-directory - Software Error

[brensly]

Hello!

I run OTRS on a Linux server and I feel kind of stupid because I can't find what is wrong here.
Whenever I create a PHP file inside the OTRS directory (and in subfolders) and try to reach it through the browser, this comes up:

Code: Select all

Software error:

slurp_filename('/opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/filename.php') / opening: (2) No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 541

I have Googled this all day but it doesn't make much sense. Somewhere I read something that pointed in the direction that perl actually tries to execute the .php file, thus printing out this error.

PHP is enabled in Apache, however I can't get it to execute these scripts inside the OTRS directory if I understand this correctly.

Where do I go from here?

cgi-bin is a CGI directory. So always PERL will be used.

Have the PHP file on a different location

Thanks for your reply!

The thing is, the file i'm trying to reach is not located in the cgi-bin directory. It doesn't matter where I put is as long as it's in the OTRS folder or any of its subdirectories, this error comes up looking for the file in cgi-bin. I would like to know the reason it behaves this way.

OTRS runs as CGI Script (or via mod perl). So you can not put PHP code in the directories.

Thank you for clarifying this. At least I know what is wrong now
