What steps should be taken to troubleshoot the error message "No input file specified" when calling a PHP file in IIS6?

The error message "No input file specified" typically occurs in IIS6 when the FastCGI handler cannot find the requested PHP file. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try modifying the FastCGI settings in IIS Manager to specify the correct path to the PHP executable. Additionally, make sure that the PHP file you are trying to access actually exists in the specified location.

<?php
// Example FastCGI settings in IIS Manager:
// 1. Open IIS Manager
// 2. Go to the FastCGI Settings for your website
// 3. Add a new FastCGI application with the correct path to the PHP executable
// 4. Make sure the PHP file you are trying to access exists in the specified location
