in reply to Premature end of script headers

Many times the error "Premature end of script headers" occur not because, our heads are bad, but because a previous error written "\n\n" to the output before our "\n\n".

Checks, file permissions, missing libraries, server config, etc ...

    I'd like to add that it's often interesting to just start the script from the command line - often it's obvious from the output what the problem is.

    (Yes, you can run a CGI script without CGI. No, it won't kill any kittens.)

      you're right, but in this case I vote for a bug in file permissions, without running the script on any site :-)
