I installed PHP (IIS-Aid PHP installer), but was not able to get it to work. When I tried to access a file called PHPinfo.php, I was told there was an error #500.21,

"HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error
Handler "IIS-Aid Easy PHP 5" has a bad module "FastCgiModule" in its module list"

How can I best fix this? I have limited programming knowledge, (I am familiar with HTML), and want to learn to use PHP on my websites.

    If you are using a windows machine like XP or Vista why not try WAMP or XAMPP which will work well on your machine either of these will work with minimal effort on your part, I tried the Windows install but am quite happy with either of the above packages.

      Look in your php.ini file for a directive called "fastcgi.impersonate" - is it enabled? Also, is "cgi.force_redirect" disabled?
