Warning

A server deployed in CGI mode is open to several possible vulnerabilities. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend yourself from such attacks.

- Make sure the web server is running, and point your browser to xitamis admin console (usually http://127.0.0.1/admin), and click on Configuration.

- Navigate to the Filters, and put the extension which PHP should parse (i.e. .php) into the field File extensions (.xxx).

- In Filter command or script put the path and name of your PHP CGI executable i.e. C:\php\php.exe for PHP 4, or C:\php\php-cgi.exe for PHP 5.

- Press the 'Save' icon.

- Restart the server to reflect changes.
