Thanks for your reply. The ScriptAlias seems to be right: ScriptAlias
/cgi-bin/ "/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/"
I never used or configured Apache and PHP, so I'm a little lost, but the
website said ms4w would have everything properly configured, so I didn't
bother with these. Do you think the only solution would be to configure
manually both Apache and PHP?
