installation problem

Even though this probably is not a new topic, can someone suggest a remedy for my installation difficulties? Here's my configuration: Apache 2.0.55 PHP 5.1.2 installed in c:\php Windows 2000 SP4 I'm trying to test a PHP application. Whenever I try to execute a PHP script, two errors are generated in the Apache error log: [Wed Feb 15 13:10:57 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/oscommerce/catalog/install/index.php is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!" first line [Wed Feb 15 13:10:57 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (9)Bad file descriptor: don't know how to spawn child process: C:/oscommerce/catalog/install/index.php It looks like Apache expects something like "#!c:\php\php.exe" as the first line of each script. I've added these lines to the Apache configuration file (htpd.conf): <Directory "c:/oscommerce/*"> Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .php </Directory> LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps PHPIniDir "c:/php/" AddHandler cgi-script .py .php .class .jar Action application/x-httpd-py "/python/python.exe" Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks.
