Hi. I'm running CMS Made Simple 1.6.6. I'm using an IIS server. The front-end seems to be working just fine but when I try to log in to the admin I get the follwing error:

Code: Select all

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
How can this be solved? How will I be able to log in to the admin again?

just a wild guess - is your host is running PHP as a CGI program, rather than as a module?  I would check with your host to see what they say.

Php is installed as a module.

I tried with a fresh set of installation files on a new directory of the server and still get the error. See for your self... www.exae.edu.do/testsite/install
After the checksum I get the CGI error. Any ideas out there?

That error isn't a CMS Made Simple error. Check with your host to see if there is anything in the logs. Might be a PHP or IIS setting somewhere that is causing the CGI process to hang.
