Your host is misconfigured. Do you know if it meets Coppermine's minimum requirements, such as having PHP installed?

.:: Requirements
02: Web Server + PHP + MySQL + IM/GD = CPG!
Coppermine Photo Gallery has been tested working well on IIS, Apache 1.3.24 onwards to the latest Apache 2, on Linux, UNIX, OSX, and Win32 systems. The following settings are required:

Good webserver (Apache recommended);
PHP (4.1.0 or better);
MySQL (3.23.23 or better; 4.x recommended);
either GD or ImageMagick (any version);

Your webserver is NOT configured properly. Is this a machine that you control or at a webhost?

If it is under your control then review the installation instructions regarding PHP and interoperating with your particular webserver.

You are using Microsoft-IIS/6.0, I suggest if this is a recent install of php, you back it off, totally remove it.

Install PHP by using the .zip manual install method and not thiers or anybody elses automated installer.

Follow the instructions included with the zip install.  (If this is how you did it, then I'm guessing you missed the application mappings that you need to do in the "Internet Services Manager", recheck the documentation.

If the machine is not under your control then you will have to talk to the folks that do control it.
