provide a short example script, and it's output when run from the command line. save this as test.php:

<?php echo "hello world!\n" ?>

and see what you get. it should be st. like this:

c:\temp>php test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.7-dev
Content-type: text/html

hello world!

c:\temp>

If that's ok (i. e. the first three lines are the same as shown above, I suggest you turn on logging errors in php.ini, request a PHP script thru PWS, and check the error log.

set cgi.force_redirect=0 in your php.ini

I'm getting the same problem.  It's not about setting cgi.force_redirect=0 in php.ini, that was for a different problem and that one is now fixed.

So what is causing this error?  Any help greatly appreciated!

it's a bit late now, but maybe someone else will come look for answers here...

The CGI error can be solved by opening PWS, clicking on the Advanced button, and adding the folder where your scripts reside to the vitual directories tree (don't forget to enable the execute option by ticking the box).

Hi All,

I had the same error all the time. In my case it were the Security-Settings inside the webroot. There need to be a entry like IUSR_XXXX (XXXX is the name of your computer). Give this user at least rights to read the directory.

I think this problem is caused when the php is for Apache running with IIS on Windows 2000.  

It can be solved downloading the version for windows (Version 4.3.3, available in www.php.net).  Installing that version it works, if you are running with IIS on Win XP it is necessary to set cgi.force_redirect=0 in your php.ini.

I hope it can be the solution.
