I just installed PHP version 5.2 on my machine with this setup:

- Windows XP Professional with SP2
- IIS 5.1

I already added the necessary mapping to run PHP scripts but after many
hours of scratching my head and searching on the web, I cannot find a
simple solution to my problem. None of my php scripts work at all. They
ALL wait and wait and wait until after five minutes I get the following
error:

CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing.
The server has deleted the process.

The only answers I've found to this problem are to increase the timeout
limit!!!! What kind of a solution is that?????!!!!

In any case, they all talk about version 4.x which is not my case. I'm
using version 5.2 and besides, there's no reason why any of my scripts
would have to run for so long. For example, I'm running the simplest
php script you can run and I still get the error:

<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>

This is not the first time I install PHP on a machine but it is the
first time I come across this problem. Can anyone please help me?

Thanks!
