cgi-problems

[Hendrik Daldrup <He...@t-online.de>]

hi there,

i still have some cgi-problems.
everything is working fine, but some scripts produce the following error:

"Premature end of script headers: /......./cgi-bin/script_name"

problems is i have no clue about perl/cgi stuff, so that i dont even 
know what this error means,
or where it could be related to.

thx,

hendrik

thx a lot,

perl is in proper dir, chmod is ok too,
but the script really has an error.
i just updated my server, and checked the old backups, but there is the 
same error in that file and it worked back then.

i read s.th. that it might be SUEXEC related...
what do i need SUEXEC for (cause i just checked and its installed, but 
wasnt installed before)

thx

hendrik

It generally means the script isn't being executed properly. Make sure 
that your path to perl is set properly, either /usr/bin/perl or 
/usr/local/bin/perl  If you don't know your path, and you can telnet in 
type whereis perl and that will show you the path. Also make sure your 
script mods are set to 755.

If you still get that error, and again assuming you have shell access, 
just go into your CGI-bin and type ./script_name and it will either kick 
back proper input or tell you where the error is (ie bad character in 
line 28, etc)

It means the script is not putting out a proper CGI header before
anything else. This could be because:

- you didn't tell it to produce a header
- there is another error which produces output before it gets to the
header.

Read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html#writingacgiprogram

to see what this is all about.
