I have installed XAMPP without any trouble (http://localhost works fine). The problem comes when I try to execute a script. Then I get the following message :
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message:
couldn't create child process: 720005: script.cgi
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Note that "script.cgi" is a .exe file that I renamed because the basic instructions stated that .cgi was the only acceptable suffix for a CGI executable.
Does anyone have any suggestions? All ideas gratefully received.
