Cgi-bin

[Patricia]

When i try to install a script (quiz script) via cgi-bin, i get this error.

 

Premature end of script headers

The URL that you requested, /cgi-bin/sfesurvey.cgi, resulted in a server configuration error. It is possible that the condition causing the problem will be gone by the time you finish reading this.

 

We have logged this error and will correct the problem.

 

i found out that it isn't (i think) my script but something to do with apache, which can be found here..

i'm not sure what all that means really. but if anyone could help me out it'd be great. thank you

I don't think its apache, or others would have a problem.

 

Did you upload the files in binary or text as per their instructions

and do you need to change any permissions?

 

With out seeing the link to the script

its hard to offer more ideas.

 

My self I would look for a script in php.

These are almost ALWAYS caused by typos in the code and/or the file not having the permissions it needs.

 

Check your error log, if it's a file permission, it will say so, such as "error, premature end of script, file has no execute permission".

Thanks to you both Don, and Pendragon, it was after all that working on it a capitalization error of my folder *silly me* lol. so it's fixed now.. and i wish i could find a script that uses php instead but that costs $199 more from what i've researched.. no other scripts that can do what i'm after. unless i want to pay an arm and a leg.. anyways thanks! it works.
