Trying to load yii framework on a server that hasn't got mod_php in Apache:

when I run yiic I get this error:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  SCRIPT_FILENAME in /blah/blah/blah/yiisite/framework/base/CApplication.php on line 136

Server admin quotes this reason for using CGI instead of mod_php:

Quote

It is not possible to make mod_php available on your account in a secure fashion, as your account is hosted on a shared server. Many users' webpages are served by the same server process. The webserver is configured to run any CGI scripts under the user id of the owner of the webpage, rather than the user id of the web server process. This means that your CGI scripts need only be readable by your user id, so it is possible to include sensitive data (such as database passwords) safely in your scripts, and other users will not be able to access it.

Any thoughts if this is the problem...?

Could be some PHP configuration problem. Seems that on that server $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] is not defined.
