Hi,
Im trying to run a cgiscript and the 500 error gets returned....
- I have tried to chmod to both 755 and 777 - no go.
- I have tried a "hello world" cgiscript and that works.
What could be wrong with this then? The cgiscript is coded in c++ if that makes a difference.

Full Version: 500 Internal Server Error
Jacob ,
Make sure that you have uploaded your script in ascii mode and that only cgi/pl scripts are in the cgi-bin. All .txt and other file extensions have to the in the httpdocs folder.

It was an tar.gz file I uploaded and gunziped/tar -xvpf through ssh. It unpacked correctly but now I get the 500 error. I think my server has some fundamental errors 
A 500 error could pretty much mean ANYTHING. bad coding, incorrect file location, missing module, etc
Have a look in your suexec logs or your error log for anything more detailed.

Jacob, are you sure that it got unpacked w/ the correct owner? I had to chown a script after doing that, but that was ensim so...
The error log said this:
This is a quote from the owner of the script
The script supposedly work on other servers so I think it is mine that has a wrong configuration somewhere.

A premature end of script header means that apache never received a http header, and thus couldn't figure out what to send to the browser, and what to keep on the server. The script however, does send this header (otherwise it wouldn't work on any site at all).So it looks like your server redirects cgi files to something else besides apache first.
The script supposedly work on other servers so I think it is mine that has a wrong configuration somewhere.
