Permissions Problem (4 posts)

    I have uploaded cgi scripts (FormMail.cgi) using 755 as the permissions. However, the email form will not work. I get an error message saying:

    Premature end of script headers

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Here's one thing to try, assuming you are using Fetch 5:

    * Connect to the server.
    * In Fetch's Remote menu, choose Text from the Format submenu.
    * Upload your cgi script(s) again.
    * Set the permissions again.
    * Test the script again.

    If that does not fix the problem, could you please choose Fetch Transcript from the Window menu, copy the contents of the transcript window, and paste them here? We'll take a look and try to figure out what's going on.

    Thanks,

    That fixed the FormMail.cgi. However, the sim.pl and related files still won't work. Here is the transcript:

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting the transcript. It looks like Fetch is uploading the files correctly now, so there is probably some problem in the cgi or related file's code.

    Unfortunately, we are not CGI experts and don't have any suggestions in that regard, sorry.

    By the way, if you make sure that your cgi files have Unix line endings when you're editing them on your Mac, you will probably not need to switch Fetch to use the Text upload format (you can just use the default Automatic format).

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire
