[cobalt-users] majorcool / Premature end of script headers

["Steve Werby" <steve-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm usually answering the questions, but this time I have a question of my
own.  I am attempting to install majorcool (web interface for majordomo) on
a RaQ4.  See http://www.conveyanced.com/MajorCool/ for majorcool.  I've
installed it in the past on RedHat boxes, including older generation RaQs
(have it running on my own RaQ2 for list owners).  On the RaQ4 the
installation goes smoothly (at least according to the install script), but I
am unable to access the majorcool script via the web.

I have checked list archives for this list, cgiwrap-users, majordomo-users
and various sites, messages and resources related to cgiwrap, perl,
majorcool, majordomo and Apache.  At this point, I'd like to know if
*anyone* has gotten majorcool to install on a RaQ4.  I suspect the problem
is related to ownership or permissions, but I can't be sure.  I've hit a
brick wall and any information that you can provide to help me diagnose the
problem, rule something out or fix majorcool will be greatly appreciated.

When I look in /var/log/httpd/error I see:

[Wed Jun  6 17:17:36 2001] [error] [client 123.123.123.123] Premature end of
script headers: /usr/cgiwrap/cgiwrap

and the browser returns a page with the following error - "Internal Server
Error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.".  If I add the line "print "Content-type:
text/plain\n\n";" to the top of majorcool.pl the webpage loads blank
(without error message), but the Apache error log reports the same error.

I've also seen the following in the error log:

Can't exec "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper": Permission denied at
/home/sites/home/web/majorcool/majorcool.pl line 72.

I think it was the result of changing the ownership/permissions on
majorcool.pl.

The script majorcool.pl is installed to /home/sites/home/web/majorcool/ and
the directory contents are:

drwxr-sr-x   5 nobody   home         1024 Jun  6 17:00 .
drwxrwsr-x  11 nobody   home         1024 Jun  6 12:36 ..
drwxr-sr-x   2 root     home         1024 Jun  6 12:41 docs
drwxr-sr-x   2 root     home         3072 Jun  6 12:41 images
-rwxr-xr-x   1 admin    mail         2333 Jun  6 17:04 majorcool.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 admin     home           67 Jun  6 17:01 test.pl

test.pl contains the following and does work:

#!/usr/bin/perl

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

When I run majorcool.pl from the commandline by typing "perl majorcool.pl"
it spits out the correct output.

The contents of /usr/local/majordomo/ are:
