php 4.0.4 AND php 4.0.4pl1
apache 1.3.14
w2k
both as cgi and as apache module

program execution functions don't work. ("warning.. can't fork... ")

when using direct php.exe to run the file 
(i.e. \php\php dir.php) works fine
where dir.php contains:
<?php passthru("dir"); ?>

regards
avi

ps
it would have been more appropriate to return "file not found" in php 404, and "access forbidden" in php 403 :)

fixed in cvs, wait for 4.0.6
please note that dir isn't a real command try something like

passthru(getenv("COMSPEC") . " /c dir");
