The error seems to be with your setup. What do you get when you execute: c:\php\php-cgi.exe -v — jeffery, May 20 '13 at 12:37

I am look for solution and found that:

in file ..\gae\google\appengine\tools\devappserver2\php_runtime.py line 138 and 165 should be: env=os.environ)

if you put after line 156 new line: print version you will get the result

but i do not knew what to do next

This is a known bug for Windows XP SP3 users. See https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9382 for more information and progress on a fix.

That is a problem with python/google dev-server on your windows platform. The environment is not getting set and then PHP can not be executed having problems loading DLLs it needs.

When you execute "c:\php\php-cgi.exe -v" in your standard environment you should not have that error.

You should also see a msgbox you need to click OK on telling about the error-code 0xC0150004.

I am not aware of a solution for that for now, you probably want to file a bugreport for the dev-server. I don't know if this has been already reported even.
