First off, I apologize for asking a question that I know you get a lot, but I have just spent the last hour and a half beating my head against the wall and searching the internet trying to find a solution with no luck.Are your CGI scripts written in Perl,Python, etc? Check that the path of the executables matchShort version: I have an existing OpenBSD 4.0 box on which Apache (version 1.3.29) is working properly, including execution of CGI scripts. I am trying to move to a new machine with OpenBSD 4.1, so I started with a fresh OpenBSD 4.1 install, which comes with the same version of Apache as 4.0, and copied the httpd.conf file over from my old machine. After starting the web server, however, I found that it could not run any CGI scripts- always just giving me the following error:[Thu Aug 23 08:45:40 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /cgi-bin/test-cgiThe details: Aside from being OpenBSD 4.1, the new box is set up the same as the old one. I have checked and double checked the permissions on both the cgi files, including the test cgi included with the install, as well as the CGI folder. The test-cgi, as well as the printenv both run fine from a terminal window. I tried reverting to the factory default httpd.conf, with no luck. The permissions on the contents of the cgi-bin folder are as follows:ls -l /var/www/cgi-bin/ total 212 ---------- 1 root bin 99072 Mar 10 16:41 bgplg drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Aug 23 07:59 nagios -rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 268 Mar 10 16:32 printenv -rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 757 Mar 10 16:32 test-cgithe cgi-bin folder itself has 755 permissions. The relevant section from the httpd.conf file is as follows:ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" ## "@@ServerRoot@@/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options none Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>I have tried adding an "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" directive to that block, as one webpage I found suggested, as well as changing the "Option none" to "Options ExecCGI". I did, of course, restart the server between each configuration change. I have also tried with various different CGI scripts, most of which come from a fresh install. Nothing seems to make any difference- I still get the "premature end of script headers" error. If this was linux, i'd say check the SELinux settings, but it isn't.
