Last Fixups

The remaining problem is that PHP has a little issue with translating the path information it gets when running as an FCGI server. This results in

being set to a wrong value. To fix this, we unfortunately have to patch PHP itself, namely the file

. There, after line 976, add this:

if (env_redirect_url &&
	strncmp(env_server_software, "Apache", sizeof("Apache")-1) == 0) {
	/*
	 * If we have an env_redirect_url and the web server is Apache
	 * it's very likely that env_redirect_url is the one we really
	 * want
	 */
	env_script_name = env_redirect_url;
}

This will make sure that the superglobal variable is set to the right value when using Apache 2.2 as your FastCGI frontend server. The patch has been tested with PHP 5.2.9 and 5.2.10 but might work with other versions as well.
