 * I don’t get it. I’ve never seen a problem like this, and I guess this is why 
   I know I’m still green. I set up my config file, and then I got this error before
   the installer ran:
 * CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
   set of HTTP headers.
 * Can anyone tell me what this might be? Check me online at

 * Something strange going on with one of my site is that its logging all links 
   I am accessing into PHP Error log. I wonder if this all related.

 * Ok I went through all the suggested fixes with no success in resolving this issue.
   Until I realized it was working fine on a Debian based machine. and not on the
   windows server. So more than likely if you are hosting on a windows based machine
   the above fix will not help. My solution, change to Debian server…..

 * (this maybe helps someone with Plesk)
 * Had the same issue. In Plesk, I went into the setup of the domain and checked
   the checkbox for PHP to run as an ISAPI extension – that fixed it.
 * But on my older server (also IIS) it worked without that checkbox.
