Re: [PLUG] SOLVED! Apache2 Server Error

Doug, your suggestion was right on target. I had the Content-type statement, but I discovered that my program was outputting some text before Apache saw that content-type statement.

 

I set the "quiet" option and stopped the program from send output (so the "Content-type" statement was first), and everything works now.

 

Thanks for your suggestion!

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.
