[users@httpd] CGI problem
I am running Apache 1.3.27 on a FreeBSD 4.7 Server. When I go to=20
/cgi-bin/ from the web, I get a 500 error. When I run the script
from the command line, it works fine, with the header and all.
I checked my logs and I see this:
[Thu Feb 6 21:02:07 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.13] Premature end of s=
cript headers: /dir/to/script/cvsweb.cgi
[Thu Feb 6 21:02:43 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.13] Premature end of s=
cript headers: /dir/to/script/cvsweb.cgi
[Thu Feb 6 21:02:45 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.13] Premature end of s=
cript headers: /dir/to/script/cvsweb.cgi
here is the relevent portion of the httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin bob@bomar.us
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/bob
ServerName bob.bomar.us
ErrorLog /var/log/bob-error
CustomLog /var/log/bob-custom common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/www/bob/cgi-bin/"
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#AddHandler cgi-script .pl
</VirtualHost>

Sorry Bob. Now I get a little confused. You said it works from the
apache, but then said again not working from your web server. Are the
apache and your web server not the same thing? To make things clear, do
you have two web servers (here equal to apache) respectively installed
on your own desktop and the server machine?

It works from the command line and from the apache running on my
file server and my desktop, all running freebsd, but not from
my web server.

So, then it works both from the command line and via the browser on your
desktop, and it works only from the command line but not via the browser
on your server machine. Is this right?

Does the above line mean that CVSWeb does not work from the command line
on the server machine?

Do you have "Content-type: text/html" as your first output line when you
run it successfully from the command line? Otherwise, it can also cause
the exact following error "Premature end of script headers".

If the script executes fromt he command line with out
any errors, useing perl cvsweb.cgi, and all my other
perl scripts wont execute either, what could be the problem?.

well it is a script error right enough, the path to the script for cvs web interface is
throwing the error, may want to look at that.

I'm no Apache guru, but I play one on TV. In my limited experience,
this error has always meant some kind of bug in the script. Even a
script that runs from the CLI can cause Apache to choke due to a logic
error.

My first thought is to make sure that your 'shebang' line is correct.
If that's too cryptic, it's the first line of your script, which should
be like "#!/usr/bin/perl" which tells the program where perl is. A
program without the line (or with it incorrect) will run from the
command line but not in a browser.
