Re: [users@httpd] 500 Internal Server Error pages being rendered as markup

I'm not understanding what you mean. This was a clean install of apache  

and after typing make install,

I started up this install's apache. I didn't edit the httpd.conf file. All  

the ErrorDocument lines that are in

httpd.conf are example lines that are commented out already. So what is  

happening is when a user tries to access some cgi script that isn't  

configured right, this user gets the 500 Internal Server Error page. The  

problem with this page is that it is displayed as HTML code. There's the  

additional line of another 500 Internal Server Error occurring when trying  

to use an ErrorDocument handling the error request. Since I've never, ever  

configured any kind of customized error documents, I wouldn't even begin  

to know where all this error document configuration is. I prefer to use  

apache's default configuration and error pages.

Thanks,

Vincent J.

Hi,

Well, I did a clean install of apache. I didn't change anything, started

up apache without any httpd.conf configuration changes and tried to  

access

http://localhost/cgi-bin/test-cgi. The 500 internal error is displayed  

as

markup with the added message of:

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the
request.

Basically the same problem as before.

Have you tried without that ErrorDocument line in httpd.conf?
Does that line run another cgi script?
If yes, has this script right permissions (chmod 755)?

What do you mean when you say that instead of an error it prints an html
response?

Even when Apache prints an error in the header, it also prints a short  

html

page in the body.

Maybe conf/extra/httpd-multilang-errordoc.conf print a larger html  

content,

and in that case some browsers will display that html content instead of
creating its own error page based on the error code.

Every response prints a response code. If you say that it prints just an

html page instead of an error, this means that it prints another code  

than

500. Which is that code?

Try with:

telnet localhost 80
GET http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi HTTP/1.0
<enter><enter>
