I am having problems installing php (4.2.1) on Personal Web Server on Windows 95 using the InstallShield installer and specifying the standard installation. I have set up a php directory given it full privileges including execute and tested that it is in my webspace. When I try and run a test php script I get the message: "HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error". (I get this message even if I misspell the URL !) The FAQ says to run php -i. I get a screen full of html codes (the output of the phpinfo() function) which indicates that PHP is working. The FAQ suggests it is a problem with my server configuration. What does this mean? The php docs say the installshield setup is supposed to configure the PWS web server as well. PWS works fine with ASP and plain HTML. Do I need to do more that just run the installshield? Any help appreciated. ( I previously posted this message in the php.install newsgroup but had no response).
