>Description:
Okay, here's my problem: I've installed on a WinNT 4.0 the Apache WebServer 1.3.20. I already installed PHP and MySQL. So far, so good. This all works very fine. But just now I've installed AcivePerl to run CGI-Scripts. I've made all changes in the httpd.conf. Bu every time I want to execute a cgi-script, I'm getting an error-message like this:
  [Wed Sep 05 16:21:26 2001] [error] [client 138.201.77.3] couldn't spawn child process: d:/inetpub/cgi-bin/yabb/yabb.cgi
I've searched in the bug-database to find an solution for my problem, but I didn't find anything. So, if anyone can help me or knows what to do, then PLEASE HELP ME. It's very important.
