I found this answer on PHP.net's knowledge base but I do not know how to adjust/add the flag?

"This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed. You need to set the execute flag on the directory under PWS."


Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Pete[noevil]
 
open the PWS interface and in advanced there you will see a list of all the folders below document root.
select the folder you want to change by right click and advanced (I think), you will see 3 checkboxes, read, write and execute.
Check these according to what you need, by deafult all but CGI-BIN is read only.

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I open the PWS interface?

It was a stupid question:

c:\windows\system\inetsrv\pws.exe
