New to PHP

[hiatus]

Hi,
I am a web developer just beginning with PHP...I installed PHP on my Win 2000 server using the installshield installer. then I renamed a html page to php and tried running it...but it gives me the error;

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Could someone please tell me what this means do i have to do some additional configuration on the serverfor interpreting php files.

Are you running IIS?
Have you given script access to the dir containing your .php?
Are you running php as an executable or ISAPI filter?

I too had some trouble getting IIS to properly use a php ISAPI filter. Finally I put php4isapi.dll in C:\WINNT\system and gave the web user account access, which seems to work.

I am running IIS 5...Could u tell me how I can give the IUSR_servername user execute access on the dir having php.exe( I am running php as an executable)...The .php files are stored in the web server's root dir so it already has script access...

one more thing I want to use php on pws on my win 98 machine...will it work ???

Afraid I can't comment on your execute access problem, but I've had php running on PWS/W98 without too much trouble. The installer should pick it up.

I put the php4isapi.dll file in the c:\winnt\system dir but it still gives me the same error..Is there something more that I should do to make it work
