Error when accessing PHP pages

Post by lebyathan »

Hi,

When I try to access a .PHP page the server returns me the following error message:

couldn't create child process: 22693: C:/Apps/Apache2/cgi-bin/PHP/webmail/index.php

ERROR 500

Thanks,

Have you taken a look into the error.log of your apache?

Put the following into a file named blah.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

upload it to your server, and call it with url, and see if that works. If it does, there may be something wrong with the code of the php script your calling, otherwise if it doesn't work, contact your webhost.
