Premature End Of Script

[Computeus]

I have been reading and working on this issue till the morning but I can not find a solution yet. So I decided to post it here.

This is a part of my error log.

[Wed Apr 28 12:29:14 2010] [error] [client 88.254.120.15] (2)No such file or directory: exec of '/var/www/ftp/asmarsiv.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi' failed, referer: http://www.asmarsiv.com/arsive_gozat.php
[Wed Apr 28 12:29:14 2010] [error] [client 88.254.120.15] Premature end of script headers: search.cgi, referer: http://www.asmarsiv.com/arsive_gozat.php

I removed suexec.

This is httpd.conf

<Directory />

AllowOverride All
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

This is a part of my sites config file

# CGI Directory
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/ftp/asmarsiv.com/cgi-bin/
<Location /cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script cgi
</Location>

Still the search.cgi script gives the same error.

Any solution?

By the way a Hello World perl script runs fine.
I am uploading all the files in a rar file to the server and then extracting them.

search.cgi works on ubuntu 8.04 x64. Is the x64 architect of ubuntu cause this?

By the way a Hello World perl script runs fine.

As pointed out in the FAQ, the search.cgi is not a Perl script, and in fact having the Perl interpreter configured to handle all CGI requests is a common server configuration error.

As a first step in checking that it runs on your server, you should be able to Telnet into your server and run search.cgi from the Unix command line.

I changed the OS from Ubuntu x64_86 to Debian x86 with the same settings. And search.cgi works fine.
