 * I have tried to install WordPress to my FTP but i got two errors. I resloved 
   them to then find when i view my “[http://www.qwibble.co.uk/wp-admin/install.php&#8221](http://www.qwibble.co.uk/wp-admin/install.php&#8221);
   page i get
 * CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
   set of HTTP headers.
 * Anybody know what this means? and what i can do to sort it?

 * Do a search for CGI application misbehaved.

 * “Do a search for CGI application misbehaved. ” That’s going to give you incredibly
   vague results. Then again the error is rather generic, too.
 * How exactly did you resolve these errors, that may be the problem.

 * Did you have a comment that would actually help dook5?
 * The reasons I (and many others) suggest using search is 1.) no one does before
   they post and 2.) with a problem that may have several solutions the best way
   is for the person who posted the question to solve their own problem and 3.) 
   point them the right way and they may actually learn something.
