... seems that you try loading PHP as modul AND as CGI ... note: if you use
the PHP modul with

LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP/SAPI/PHP4APACHE.DLL
 ...
AddModule mod_php4.c

you don't need the "Action application/..." Line!

Cause the Action meen that this extern program is called as a CGI. With the
modul version this functionality is bundeld into apache itself. Might be
confusing for Apache what he should do, call CGI and/or the modul.

If you wish to use the CGI version (not recommed) then you have to specify
the Path of the Action correctly. To do this you need also a line like:

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Files/PhP/"

so that apache know where the directory "/php/" is, so that it looks like:

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Files/PhP/"
...
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Than you don't need the LoaModule & AddModule lines ! Comment it out like:

# LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP/SAPI/PHP4APACHE.DLL
 ...
# AddModule mod_php4.c

But the better way is to use the modul version !!!

hope this will help, regards, G.Lohmann
