Well what about this bit:
You have installed PHP, but when try to access a php script file via your
browser, you get the error:
cgi error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
This error message means that php failed to output anything at all.
From the command line hange to the directory containing php.exe. Run
php.exe -i
If php has any problems running, then a suitable
error message will be displayed which will give you a clue as to what
needs to
be done next. If you get a screen full of html codes (the output of the
phpinfo() function) then php is working ok.
Once php is working at the command line, try accessing the php script via
the browser again.
If it still fails then it could be one of the following:
file permissions on your php script, php.exe, php4ts.dll, php.ini or any
php
extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user
ISUR_<machinename> cannot access them.
The script file does not exist (or possibly isn't where you think it is
relative to your web root directory). Note that for IIS you can trap this
error by ticking
the 'check file exists' box when setting up the script mappings in the
Internet Services
Manager. If a script file does not exist then the server will return a 404
error instead.
There is also the additional benefit that IIS will do any authentication
required for you
based on the NTLanMan permissions on your script file.
