CGI Error

petriiik

I had installed PHP 4 on IIS 4 and using MSSQL 7.0
I have problem with server - I often (as a user) get message "CGI Error" - but after refreshing (reloading) page is all OK.
This bug occurs after php code has used form to redirect to other php page, where nothing is shown, only some things are done with database and calling next php page using header('location:...') statemenet.
Bug occurs on one server, but when I try this php code localy on IIS server installed on local computer, all is OK and no error messages are generated.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks

There is a very detailed explanation here. I used this and it got rid of my problem straight away.

If that doesnt work, make sure that the file actually does exist in the location that your browser is pointing to

thanks, it doesn't help
I try php -i - all is ok
I had read the manual before posting

maybe you missed some fact I wrote - after user press Reload/Refresh button, all is ok - why refereshing page always solve this problem (problem of bad filename ...) ?!?

maybe that error is in configuration of IIS ?
