Hello,

I've been using abyss for a while now to host a few files on an old PC running 98 on my network. I'm having to install PHP for a module I have to do in uni. I installed the experimental preconfigured PHP 5 and set up abyss accordingly but I am encountering an error 500 (on the net and when using localhost) when running the test script. I've had a look into the log file and this is the message I get:

CGI: ["C:\Program Files\PHP5\php-cgi.exe" ] URI: /timetest.php Child process creation failed - OS error 0

FYI, the script I was running was:

<p>This page was created at <b>
<?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
</b> on the computer running PHP.</p>

Would anybody be able to tell me what the error means and how I would correct it? I am a complete newbie to this so it's probably something dead simple.

Thanks

It seems like an Operating System error caused it from running. :/

batgranny,

Open a DOS command window (Start > Run > , then type command and press Return/Enter).

In the displayed window type:
Code:
"C:\Program Files\PHP5\php-cgi.exe"


and press Return/Enter. What is the result. Is there an error message?

Hi, thanks for the reply. When typed that in I got the following error:

Quote:
A required .DLL file ODBC32.dll was not found


So I went and got myself a copy of the .dll file and installed it in the system and system32 directories and tried again. I then got this error message:

You will need to download and install the Microsoft Data Access Components.

Download it here.
