This issue has occured on a web server with various web sites on it, using host headers on the same IP address. 

The default web site is on c:\inetpub\wwwroot, but another site is on c:\inetpub\sitename.com. When I set up php.ini for doc_root = c:\inetpub\wwwroot, only the default web site returned results to the browser. The other site gave an error message:

--- error start ---
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
--- error end ---

I tried changing the doc_root to c:\inetpub, but then both sites gave the error message. When I changed doc_root to c:\inetpub\sitename.com, PHP scripts could only be run on that site & the default web site returned the CGI error.

-- end bug report --

-- start my advice --
I think there should be an ability to specify more than one doc_root in php.ini.
-- end my advice --

Hope this helps,
Asafus Flavius :-)

I made a little research on the problem and these are the results:

1. When I don't work in safe mode (php.ini, safe_mode = off) and don't set doc_root any value, everything works.
2. Even if I don't work in safe mode and I set doc_root to c:\Inetpub I get the CGI error.
3. Thanks to all those who helped me out, especially Frank Seesink :-)

I don't think this is a bug in PHP. 
Anyway, please upgrade to the latest version. Reopen this report if the problem still exists.
