cgi - 500 Internal Server Error

[mavwbd]

I am getting following error under servers logs files.
--------------
Premature end of script headers: /home/******/public_html/posts-test/search/search.cgi
---------------
The script is encoded and I am not able to check the exact reason for the errors.
search.cgi is set to 755 so I'm not sure why I'm getting this problem!

Any ideas?

The script is compiled (from C++ code). Not really encoded in the sense that you are refering to.

Note also that the ASP and PHP scripts are easier to install than CGI, if your server allows that option.

I had been using the javascript version but I need to index over 65,000 pages.
I have set the script alias for cgi like the FAQ says; including the permissions change, but still not working!
I have tried to manually execute it and it is giving "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error.

This is a bit of a puzzle!

You need to read it in detail.

For example did you upload in FTP binary or ASCII mode?
Are you using the Linux CGI or the Windows CGI?

Ah, yes.
I used Zoom to upload the files for me and it's now working!
Thank you very much.
