I keep getting an error with a whole load of CGIs. For a long time I assumed it was because of something dim that I'm doing. But I'm beginning to think it's my ISP. So I put a very simple script up and... it falls over. Can you tell me whether I'm completely mad? This shouldn't fall over, should it?
#!usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); print header; print "hello world";
But it does, as you can see here. File permissions are 755. The error log says
[Fri Oct 12 01:00:49 2001] [error] [client 62.253.128.5] Premature end + of script headers: /home/htdocs/hosted/thinweb/trainingboard.co.uk/p +roviders/test.pl fopen: Permission denied failed to open log file
Tell me I'm crazy! Or tell me I'm not crazy but there's something awfwy squoowy going on awound my ISP. Or even better... tell me what this fopen nonsense is all about. Sorry if this post sounds a bit confused - I've been struggling with this too long. I'm off to put my head in a bucket of water now. And me with this terrible pains in all the diodes down my left side.
