Description Pekka-Matti Nieminen 2003-01-03 06:44:12 UTC

Hiya folks,

I installed Apache 2 on my Gentoo system by "emerge apache2". Started daemon 
with "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" and browsed into http://localhost/~user/cgi-
bin/test.cgi. Http error 500 hits on screen. Apache's errorlog contains a line:

[snip]
[Fri Jan 03 13:41:20 2003] [error] [client 192.168.0.2] Premature end of 
script headers: test.cgi
[/snip]

Guess: the script dies before sending output..

I move the script into /home/httpd/cgi-bin folder, which is a scriptalias'ed 
folder for http://localhost/cgi-bin. I browse http://localhost/cgi-
bin/test.cgi and screen has text: "testing".

The test.cgi contais next three lines:
  #!/usr/bin/perl
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print "<html>testing</html>";

I disabled all apache (and apache2) "extra" modules that may interfere 
executing the script, restarted apache2 and no difference. Not any other 
modifactions were made, so all other is default in config files.



[my make.conf contains:]
USE="x86 -alsa apache2 apm arts avi crypt cups encode gif -gnome gpm gtk imap

why dont you try adding this to your configuration...

ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/]*)/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/$1/public_html/cgi-bin/$2
