I was recently trying to setup Concerto, an open source digital signage platform, on my GoDaddy shared hosting account. I was able to get it installed and pass all the diagnostic tests other than the PHP_SELF script check. Please note, you may need to change all of the ‘PATH_INFO’ to ‘ORIG_PATH_INFO’ in the script as well.

It turns out in order to get this to work, you have to change the file extension handler for .php files.

1. Login to your hosting account manager
2. Click on the Settings Tab
3. Choose File Extensions from the menu
4. Under the Actions column, click on the Edit icon
5. Change the handler from PHP 5.x FastCGI to PHP 5.x

You should now be able to use your script.
