Hopefully someone can provide a simple solution to this frustrating problem.

For several years I've been using a perl FastCGI script to handle website authentication using a Directory directive in Apache with FastCgiAccessChecker. So any requests for pages in the users only section go via a simple FastCGI script which then gives an OK or a Forbidden response. My ISP wants to move the website to a new server with a newer version of Apache (Apache 2). Under Apache 2 the FastCGI script works as normal except where post data is concerned. When it reaches the FastCGI script STDIN is empty and there is no post data! My ISP has tried 3 different Linux versions without any success and thinks it's an Apache 2 bug!

Any help appreciated, thanks.

welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], Wilf_Lentil!

check your error log file for clues.

does it not work for all POST request or only file uploads?
you might check the configuration and make sure any parameters related to file upload size or upload directory are set correctly.
