PHP with Personal Web Server

Hi guys!
I am having trouble installing PHP in Ms PWS on Win98SE. No matter what I try, I keep getting the security warning. I am getting really sick of PHP!! Can anyone help?

Please elaborate on your security warning?...

Make sure Guest account is on (PWS needs that) and the php files/dirs have execute permissions...

You must ensure that php.ini is in your /windows directory, that your extensions directory is specified in that, and you must have run regedit and entered the required registry entries:

HKLM Root.. add the extensions you wih to map, along with a "phpfile" for default...

phpfile key should be created with command/open keys pointing to (default) your php.exe file.. (EX: "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/PHP/php.exe" %s %s <<These are critical...

Heres a summary:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Script Map
.php C:\My Webs\php4\php.exe %s %s
.php4
.phtml
.php3

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
.php default "phpfile"
.phtml default "phpfile"
.php3 default "phpile"
.php4 default "phpfile"

phpfile default "PHP Script"

phpfile->NewKey-->Shell

Shell-->NewKey-->Open

open->NewKey->command

command default C:\MyWebs\php4\php.exe -q %1

The Security alert message is as follows....
Quote::

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.

For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security.

For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the manual page.

I have installed the PHP extensions in The Windows Registery editor. But it still doesn't work. I have a copy of PHP.ini in the windows directory too.

I have attached my PHP.ini file in text format with this message.

I will be really grateful for any further help.
Thanks

You had to uncomment the
;cgi_force_redirect=On
to
;cgi_force_redirect=OFF

I have done that and attached the file..

Check your extension directory too.. you have "C:\PHP"
but usually the extensions are in an /extensions dir like so
"C:\PHP\extensions" (Use quotes)

Enjoy!
