Hi,

I'm trying to install PHP on my brothers PC, running PWS on Win95.  I've
just made a quick test file to see if all was correct.  But I get this error
message:

"
Security Alert! PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means
that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is
set. This variable is set, for example, by Apache's Action directive
redirect.

You may disable this restriction by recompiling the PHP binary with
the --disable-force-cgi-redirect switch. If you do this and you have your
PHP CGI binary accessible somewhere in your web tree, people will be able to
circumvent .htaccess security by loading files through the PHP parser. A
good way around this is to define doc_root in your php.ini file to something
other than your top-level DOCUMENT_ROOT. This way you can separate the part
of your web space which uses PHP from the normal part using .htaccess
security. If you do not have any .htaccess restrictions anywhere on your
site you can leave doc_root undefined. If you are running IIS, you may
safely set cgi.force_redirect=0 in php.ini.
"

What can I do about this?
