The specified CGI application misbehaved by ....

Most of you have seen this error before I'm sure and I have too and I fixed it once before w/o any problems.

I'm running IIS on Win2K Server

Currently I've got a few different hostnames running off of this machine with all the ones I setup a while ago working ok with PHP and Perl. I went to setup a new hostname today and for some reason PHP won't work at all.

I'm getting the dreaded:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

I've got one hostname of

http://komher.homelinux.com/swg/

with the directory being E:\web\komher\swg

The new one I'm setting up is:

http://nmw-swg.kicks-ass.org/index.php

with the directory being E:\web\komher\swg

The komher.homelinux.com one works perfectly the script loads and everything. The second one (nmw-swg...) one gives out the error up above. I've gone through individual settings for both the hostnames and made sure they match exactly and it still gives the same problem. (The only reason you have to type index.php on the second one is that I forgot to set it up as a default page).

Same script, Same directory, two different results.

Any ideas?

It just worked ok for me. Did you find the problem?

Yep I got it working. Apparently for some reason the new IIS hosts didn't want to use the php.exe as the script engine even though it worked on the old hosts w/o a problem, so out of frustation I decided to use isapiphp4.dll for the script engine instead. Worked like a charm first time.

Don't know why it wants the alternate method instead of using the same executable that the other hosts use ...
