I get this error when signing into MT.
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
Can you please provide me with direction on what this means and how to correct the issue?

Thank You.
Reported on Movable Type 5

Are you getting this issue on a windows environment?
What server and OS version?
Kind Regards,

Yes, I am working off a Windows environment. Running an Apache server with Windows 7 64-bit.
I checked with our hosting provider as well to see if I am allowed CGI scripts and yes I am.
Could you temporary rename the file "mt-config.cgi" to something else?
I am trying to see the output from:
http://coleyfederal.com/clients/ToolkitPrototype/cgi-bin/mt/mt-check.cgi
Okay, it's changed. Go ahead.
As I've anticipated, your server is not Apache, but IIS.
If you look at:
http://coleyfederal.com/clients/ToolkitPrototype/cgi-bin/mt/mt-check.cgi
Pay attention to:
1)
Current working directory: D:/inetpub/coleyfederal
MT home directory: D:\inetpub\coleyfederal\clients\ToolkitPrototype\cgi-bin\mt\
2)
Web server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
Your objective should be to get both the "Current working directory:" and "MT home directory:" point to the right place. The last one is good, but the first one isn't.
The solution to this is described on:
