WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied

In Windows I used to see this error myself after installing Google App Engine SDK for PHP. This error occured when gae could not find the PHP executable.

The thing was I was specifying the absolute path to the folder that contained php-cgi.exe, leaving out the name of the executable php-cgi.exe! I solved this problem by adding the name of tyhe executable as well. So you might want to take a look again at your absolute path and make corrections.

from the docs:

Start the web server with the following command, giving it the path to your project directory:

google_appengine/dev_appserver.py --php_executable_path=absolute-path-to-php-cgi.exe myproject/

Hope it helps,
