Sorry if this has already been covered - I am trying to get a paid version of this software to work on IIS and with sql server 2005 and it's not working..

I have set the permissions and whenever i try to get the install to fire up i get the following message..

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

Windows Server 2003
SQL Server
PHP Version 5

I can use:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or
MySQL 4 or
Microsoft Access

Thanks in advance and i realize I am a newbie to this =)

The free version (2.0) does not always do well on IIS
2.1 (there is a thread about it) does better.
v3 installs pretty well
Just keep in mind, mod rewrite does not work on IIS since this is a component of apache.

Thanks the for quick response.. i am still trying to work through this.

For the record i am trying to install:
Download PHP Link Directory 3.0 (link back retained) 3.0.6

Is thier a naming convention for the database? I didnt see anything in the install doc that mentioned creating db so I assume that will happen when the install fires up (if it ever does)

What adjustments do i have to make for this?

no adjustments are needed, you just can't turn on mod rewrite so won't get the urls like this /category-name/
Instead they will be like this: ?c=42

Yes, the install will take care of the naming convention.

Do you think the mod rewrite will ever work for the IIS platform?

Thanks
