This time, I hope it will be different. And, for once, I have something relevant to post because this blog nearly didnt happen!

After deciding to use WordPress I set about installing the app on my hosting (Windows / IIS), only to find that I recieved the following error;

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

After trying to figure out what the problem was on my own and looking through endless Google search results, I was about to throw in the towel and decide that blogging just wasn’t for me. This was until, I found a post that detailed the issue. Turns out that WordPress 2.3 will not install correctly on windows hosting unless you replace the default wb-db.php file with an updated version suitable for IIS.

Here is a link to the fix in case you have ran into the same problem yourself.

Worked for me!
