"Internal Server Error" with CGI version of PHP

Hello all, I've tried some hours now to get PHP working on my local machine but I can't find out why it refuses to do so. Operating System: Windows 2000 Server: Apache/1.3.12 PHP version: 4.2.0 (binary distribution) I've already successfully installed PHP as a module on the same machine but I need to use the CGI version for development purposes. I followed the instructions in install.txt and my PHP book but the server always returns a "internal server error". The error.log says "Premature end of script headers: d:/php/sapi/php.exe" This is because the php interpreter does not return any data at all (not even headers). I guess this has to do with security restrictions but I could not find the exact reason. Some more info: Apache is installed in I:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\ PHP is installed in D:\PHP\ http.conf contains: ScriptAlias /php/ "d:/php/sapi/" AddType application/x-httpd-php-test .php-test Action application/x-httpd-php-test "/php/php.exe" I've chossen these special "test" extensins because the .php extension is already associated to the module version of PHP. I'm pretty sure this is not the problem. I've copied php.ini-dist as php.ini in the SYSTEM32 directory and changed the following settings: extension_dir = "D:\php\extensions" doc_root = "I:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs" changed nothing else (but tried much before, now reinstalled PHP). Any ideas? I really don't know what I should try now...
