Premature end of script headers

RT Users
1

I’m a *nix newbie, so if it’s my lack of knowledge that’s hosing me,
please be nice and don’t flame :slight_smile:

Ok - RH Linux (2.2.12), Apache, MySQL 3.22.32.

Installed all necessary modules and rt, which works from CLI. When
loading webrt.cgi or admin-webrt.cgi from a browser, I get a 500 server
error. This is what shows up in the logs:

[Tue Sep 12 03:24:24 2000] [error] [client 20.11.25.8] Premature end of
scri
pt headers: /usr/local/rt/bin/cgi/webrt.cgi

Here’s what I added to httpd.conf:

Alias /webrt/ /usr/local/rt/lib/images/
ScriptAlias /rt/ /usr/local/rt/bin/cgi/

<Directory /usr/local/rt/bin/cgi/>
AllowOverride All
Options All ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
order allow,deny
allow from all

I also went through the past several months of the mailing list archives
and didn’t find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

TIA,

Check:
/var/log/httpd/error_log for some info.

Then:
“cd” to your rt installation directory, then “cd bin/cgi” and run
“./webrt.cgi” to see what happens. It should give you a more detailed
error there. Be sure to become the same user that your web server runs
under (usually the user “nobody”) when you run the cgi by hand…

That’s where I found this msg:

under (usually the user “nobody”) when you run the cgi by hand…

Runs (apparently) ok - it asks for name/value pairs:
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

I think it’s just a cgi problem with apache, but I’ve tried everything I
know how to (which isn’t much)…

Thanks,
