Hello all,

So, I'm migrating a site from my test-server (Powerbook running
Apache/Darwin BSD) to my web host and all my CGI scripts are giving me
that error.  The header error is also the only error that's showing up
in the error_log.

I've checked all the usual suspects:

file permissions (775)
syntax (perl -Tc is clean)
malformed headers (using CGI.pm->header(), so not likely)
script runs fine from command line on web server (which I believe rules
out binary transfer and carraige returns)

The site is on a managed server which has an automated setup process,
so its highly unlikely that this is a bad ScriptAlias directive.

Any thoughts?

Matt

One thought: If suEXEC is enabled, the group must not have write access.
Have you tried permissions 755?

And in the suexec log?

Too permissive.  A security-minded server will refuse to run it.

Also check other 'usual suspects' such as SELinux.

I recently saw a similar problem, where the server was refusing to run a
script because the DIRECTORY it was in was world-writeable (how the
directory became world writable is another question....).
