Re: [PLUG] Apache2 Server Error

Also:

What do your Apache logs say about the HTTP500? If you've got 777 as your access permissions, some distros and security contexts (particularly SELinux!) will flip out. Instead, you likely would want apache:apache and 755 or 751.

The apache logs show that I have a malformed header. Specifically, it says:
"malformed header from script. Bad header=Loading page (1/2):
GenerateReport.py, referer: http://project1.bralla.com/cgi-bin/Reports.py"

To trouble-shoot this, I have deleted almost the entire program. In fact, all
it is now is comments!

That log message suggests to me that "Loading page (1/2):" is the output written by the program.

Unless you're using some kind of framework, your CGI will probably need "Content-type: text/html" as the very first line of output. Otherwise, Apache is going to flip out.
