[Php-java-bridge-users] phpCGIservlet can't start php-cgi on IBM i

[<php...@li...>]

I am trying to deploy  JavaBridge to both WebSphere Express and the 
Integrated Application Server on IBM i OS V6R1 so that I can run BIRT 
reports and charts from my Zend PHP scripts on the iBM i. When I start the 
JavaBridge application I get this in the stderr logs for both servers:

 Fatal Error: Failed to start PHP [php-cgi, -v], reason: 
java.io.IOException: php-cgi: not found
Could not start FCGI server: java.io.IOException: PHP not found. Please 
install php-cgi. PHP test command was: [php-cgi, -v] 
Timeout waiting for PHP FastCGI daemon

I created a symbolic link in the WEB-INF/cgi/powerpc-os directory called 
php-cgi-arch-os that links to the /usr/lcoal/zendsvr/bin/php-cgi 
executable that runs on IBM i and I can invoke in a shell.. The app server 
can't seem to find however..

Any one seen this on other platforms ?
