Hi! I have come to this error all the time and finally decided to do something and **SURPRISE** it worked!! And I say it worked because I tried it before and didn't work at all. The solution is to install PHP under IIS as an ISAPI module and not as a CGI processor. I have Windows XP, IIS, MySQL, PHP 4.3.4 and is working great without this problem. Also, follow the exact instructions as they appear in the install.txt file in the php directory. bye.

The "CGI application misbehaved" error appears randomly on pages that contain lots of mysql_query() and header( "location: " ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-08 16:41:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] People, please do not add comments to this bug report. If you have a problem with the IIS documentation, see php bug #25863 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-08 10:06:25] roger dot gusthage at home dot se I've solved me problem by adding a redirect file between my login page and start page. This way it seems that my use of header("Location: yada yada"); got some breathing room and could "catch" up and smoothly go to my start page instead of throwing a CGI error ... I use IIS 5, W2000 server with frames on start page and got the error only when i used header-function above or when i refresh my page quickly. This is not the best solution, but could be usefull in login-situation where i now put some text to tell the user that the login is processing. Redirect i used meta tag and only 1 sec delay. Hope this might solve the problem for some of you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-29 12:03:00] closedbolt at gmx dot de Seems like php.exe in php 5 rc3 does not prepend any headers. --> cgi error in IIS php-cgi.exe does... --> works fine for me now. Example: test.php <? echo "hi"; ?> C:\php>php.exe test.php hi C:\php>php-cgi.exe test.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.0RC3 hi C:\php> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-23 18:38:14] tincanmann at hotmail dot com Hi, thanks for all the other posts and hopefully this can help someone else! I also struggled with this problem of getting PHP to run on IIS. I solved it slightly differently on my development server to the live production server, both running Win2003 Server (production being more patched, secure, etc). 1) Ensure anonymous access not allowed by editing the website details in IIS. This solved my one server but not the other. However, it all seems to stem from the security and permissions. 2) Try access the website using https:// instead of http:// ... strange, I know, but it worked for the production server (and saved me having to rewrite in ASP).
