it my first post but I’m a great follower of this forum!
My server is:
Win 2003
Microsoft-IIS/6.0 configured with FastCGI to run php
MySql 5.5.18
After the upgrade to the 3.5 version I cannot use the “Upload New Media” admin tool without receiving a CGI Error :
“The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.”
There is many reference online about this error but I did not find anything about this particular circumstance.
So, even if I receive the error, I can see that the media file has been upload and it appears on the media list.
The only difference I can notice with a file uploaded in the 3.4 version is that the dimension parameter is not showed in the details page (wp-admin/post.php?post=18&action=edit), ex:
“Dimensions: 1000 × 221”
For this reason I guess that there is a problem when WP updates this value on the database or even when it calculates this value.
Anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

]]>Have had nothing but headaches with this hosting provider, but I have to stay with them for a few reasons.
Anyways click the link below, then click any sub-page. You will get a CGI error. The hosting provider is telling me its because of the custom permalinks? I’ve done a couple dozen wordpress sites and always use this structure. The host is using a windows based server…
Any idea how I can remedy this? As I am sure a lot of you know this structure is the best for SEO reasons, and I really would like to keep this structure.

]]>When I hit my WordPress admin URL (https://myurl.com/wp-admin) or my blog URL am getting such error like “PHP/Perl script handler is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” means CGI Unavailable.
I heard in this forum that this is a kind of problem if we change the permalink setting, if YES!, I’ve never changed permalink setting now. All I did was a month back when I set up this blog, I’ve changed the permalink settings, but after that till now my blog worked well.
Is it temporary glitch from server side, because am using free hosting.
Thanks in advance.

]]>Before I upgraded to 3.0.1 (from 2.3.1), I have sorted out the pretty permalink isse via the wp-404-handler.php workaround. As a reference, my wp-404-handler.php file looks like this,
<?php
$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$pos = strrpos($qs, '://');
$pos = strpos($qs, '/', $pos + 4);
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($qs, $pos);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include('index.php');
?>After I upgraded to WP 3.0.1, the pretty permalink is still working fine, but whenever I include the ‘index.php’ in the permalink, it only works on my posts, but I will get a “CGI Error” on pages.
For instances, I can access my site very well using the pretty permalink for the following post and page,
Post:
https://www.procto.biz/business-and-industry/how-geeks-screw-up-startup-top-10-techie-traits-that-kill-your-business/
Page:
https://www.procto.biz/services/
But when I include the ‘index.php’ in the url, the page url will cause “CGI Error”.
Post (this will work ok):
https://www.procto.biz/index.php/business-and-industry/how-geeks-screw-up-startup-top-10-techie-traits-that-kill-your-business/
Page (this will cause “CGI error):
https://www.procto.biz/index.php/services/
I think this does not happen before I upgraded to 3.0.1.
You may ask why do I need to make this work. The reason is because I am using ContactForm7 plugin in some of my WP pages, and ContactForm7 plugin requires the submission url in the latter form (with the index.php as part of the form submission url) in order to work properly.
Any guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

]]>This page does not seem to come up unless I include blog.virtualwhistler.com/index.php. I am very confused because I would assume that it defaults to the index page. Can someone share their insights on this.
Second note: anytime in click on a link to another page in my blog I get a GCI Error.
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
Background: It took my 4 days to get this installed on my server. I was attempting to follow the instructions to the letter but there seems to be some issues with the installation. The install.php was not in the same directory as was expected and I believe that this issue is part of a larger issue and quite possibly part of my cgi errors.
Your insights and help are much appreciated.
]]>We’ve been setting up our first wordpress blog and everything worked fine. Simply downloaded the totall package of wordpress 2.8.4, added a mySQL database and we started posting. Really great !
After a day our servermanager noticed a popup that kept showing up after we updated or posted a new post. The popup simply says “The CGI/FastCGI stopped working” and that’s pretty much it.
The blog keeps working, no problems with that but we get errors in the eventviewer of our server.
Some specs:
IIS6
PHP 5.1.2
mySQL server 4.0.3
Any one got an idea ? I guess it got something to do with the version of fastCGI or a setting in IIS ?
thx in advance.

When I change it back to default, they work again but I want to use Day and name permalinks. Please help.
thanks

“CGI Error

This server is running multiple other PHP sites with no problems but after combing through all the posts, implementing all the suggested tweaks (all to no avail), I took another approach. I had to go back as far as ver 2.5.1, but finally found a version that installs properly and runs as intended.
If anyone has had success running 2.7.1 on IIS6, I would love to know how you got it to work.
Thanks!
