phpMyAdmin - CGI Problems

[Hyperbolik]

I am having trouble connecting to phpMyAdmin on an IIS webserver. I found this post which is EXACTLY my problem. I am receiving this CGI error...

Hello,

I'm writing in regards to this error----->
cgi error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it
did return are:

I've been to every message forum around the world and back and got
nothing. What it did get me looking at lots was the php.ini file. I
run a Win 2000 Server with the latest greast PHP 4.3.1 mySQL and IIS.
When it hit me like a bull in a china shop, I've got this all up and
running on my XP pro system to test my code on, let's look at that
php.ini file, so I did. And I saw it.....

XP setting: doc_root =
IIS setting: doc_root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

OK so I set my IIS php.ini doc_root to the XP setting
doc_root =

...and WaBLAM! It worked!

I added C:\Inetpub\wwwroot as the doc_root in my php.ini file (that is correct path) but it is still not working? What else am I missing? Am I missing something with Perl? 😕

I also run XP pro and IIS, although I ditched pretty much everything to do with what came with IIS and configured it for my own file.
In my C:\WINDOWS\ php.ini file:
cgi.force_redirect=0
doc_root=

TBH I just used the PHP installer and checked the cgi.force_redirect=0 on the advice of a friend and left it at that. Try it and see if it works.

Just a point - isn't this an installation issue?

Still doesn't work. I have attached my php.ini file.

Any other ideas?

The only advice I can really give is tell you how it's all set up on my computer.
The php.ini file is in C:/WINDOWS.
The phpmyadmin folder is inside the web root folder (your inetpub folder I believe)

Apart from that I can't suggest much. Sorry if it isn't any help.
