Oh My Gosh ......It's haunted

Anon

I am running Windows version of PhP 4.2.2 with IIS. All I did was create a simple sample script and try to run it and....Lo..and Behold I got this nasty error message....honest, I did not do anything to make PhP angry.

What must I do to fix it....please help (sample of my coding and system error message listed below)

Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<! -- file p-6-1.html -->

 <form Method="Post" Action="p-6-1.php">
 			 Enter a numeric value :
			 <br><Input Type="text" Name="number">
</form>

</body>

You have to turn off cgi.force_redirect. To do that open up your php.ini usually in the c:\windows directory and add this line at the very end.

cgi.force_redirect = 0

Note that this is only advisable if you are using IIS.
