 * After setting everything up I am getting this error:
 * CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
   set of HTTP headers.
 * I am running on a Windows server with ipower.com, I am not sure what to do at
   this point, I am sure I have my database setup correctly and can connect to it.
   I have also set to modify all files in my wordpress directory “recursively on
   all files and subfolders in this folder”.

 * Also make sure you have these set in php.ini:
 * cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
    cgi.force_redirect = 0 fastcgi.impersonate = 1 cgi.rfc2616_headers
   = 1
