Phil, Thanks for your response. I have gone through the install.txt and made the configuration changes. I think you should know that this CGI Misbehaving doesn't occur regularly nor on a consistant file. I have the checked the check file exists box, and I still get the error (the Misbehaving one), once in a while, rather than the 404 error I expect to get (probably meaning the page is found but something weird happened). I'd say the error might pop up 1 out of 100 page loads. It looks like it only occurs on pages with MS SQL (not MySQL) db connections (so I'm going to check with Frank to see if has any ideas) AND only if the Header (Location: xx/xxx.html) function is used in combination. Gathered from others, it doesn't seem to happen in Apache, so it might just be IIS, but the MS KB doesn't have anything at all. There are a lot of people reporting this one on the windows list (some who have the PHP.exe or other extentions with wrong permissions or re-directing to a page that doesn't exist). I orginially thought as you did, but, in Jeff's case, ours, and many others, this is not true. So there is something going on here and I don't know what it is. I did run php.exe -i on the command line, and it seems OK. I double checked permissions on all the modules I am using, php.exe and php4dts.dll just in case. Nada. Anyhoo, I'm going to keep working on it. Any ideas from anyone else would be great. Thanks for all of the effort. -Flint -----Original Message----- From: Phil Driscoll [mailto:phil@dialsolutions.co.uk] Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2001 4:33 AM To: Flint Doungchak; 'Jeff Howard'; php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Why am I getting a CGI error?

There is no bug here - it is just incorrect configuration of IIS and/or security settings on your php script/php.exe/php4ts.dll/php extensions and/or the fact that the file you think you are accessing doesn't actually exist in the place you think it does. install.txt takes you through the motions of getting to the bottom of the problem.
