Re: Premature end of script headers

A complete header is needed to have a succesfull http response. You must analyze what your cgi script sends back and inspect headers to check they are complete and valid. If some error occurs (MySQL connection?) before headers are emitted you can have such errors too. You can test the cgi in command line (bypassing the server completely), see Testing out a CGI script using the command line

Might be that the server put some hands in header composition and the results is bad. In this case you can, empirically speaking, try to play with no-parse-header CGI mode and, eventually modifying the cgi code, tell the script to produce a complete and valid header.
