#2 cgidoesn't work out of the box

[Anonymous]

with version 2.2.5 the script alias in the apache config
directory is incorrect after the install...

comes as:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:\Program Files\PHP Home
Edition 2\cgi-bin\"
Should be:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/PHP Home
Edition 2/cgi-bin/"

Hi, problem is not in slash or backslash :)
But current version does not configure cgi directory well.
Probably only directory is invalid:

This configuration is working well. Do not forget to install Perl
somewhere!

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "C:\Program Files\PHP Home Edition 2
\Apache2\cgi-bin\"

#
# "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin" should
be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "C:\Program Files\PHP Home Edition 2\Apache2
\cgi-bin">
