Hello,

I'm trying to run some simple hollo world cgi scripts form my local apache server but I alwayse get error mesage saying :
------------------------
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
---------------------
content of script:
cat test.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

$co = new CGI;

print $co->header,

$co->start_html(-title=>'CGI Example'),
$co->center($co->h1('Wlcome to CGI!')),
$co->start_form(),
$co->textarea
(
-name=>'textarea',
-rows=>10,
-columns=>60
),
$co->end-form(),
$co->end-html;

apache log error:
[Wed Sep 15 22:43:43 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test.cgi

The prpblem is that I took this example from book which I took aas tutorial to cgi perl programming. for expample this cript works:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "hello world\n";

and I can get printed line hello world on my browser

thanks averyone for help

He's using a local Apache server - there's no reason why he shouldn't.

BTW, I hope you're a He...

one probably that it could be is that the file is not set to be executable. make sure that the webserver can execute the program if that is already set i will take another look at the code

make sure it is in the place you think it should be? and in a CGI directory?
