Fedora Core 4 Apache 2.0.54 I seem to be having this same problem. I read the manual at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html#writingand created the "first.pl" file. when I run "./first.pl" from the commandline, all it prints is: Content-type: text/html and does not print the "Hello, World." at all. And in my browser - it gives me the "Internal Server Error" All it says in my error logs is:[Thu Feb 23 08:55:35 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Premature end of script headers: first.plIf anyone could point me in the direction where I need to look, it would begreatly appriciatedIt sounds a lot like you are missing the empty line that terminates the header. This is the 'header' that initiates the transfer and precedes the <html><head>... stuff. It is usually sent for you when the server reads and sends out a .html file. But if you are running a script or binary that is creating the content, you have to take care of that little detail. You need to start with a line something like: Content-type: text/html\n\n eg. in Perl, for example a print for the first of the data sent would look like: print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; ////jerry
That's exactly what I have - here's the first.pl file: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello, World."; Also - I guess ie does work via command line as shown: [root@serv7 cgi-bin]# ./first.pl Content-type: text/html Hello, World.[root@serv7 cgi-bin]#Just "missed" it since it was on the same line - I then added a couple \n\n to it, and it prints nicely.
However, it does not display anything vai the browser - just the "Internal Server Error"
