I recently saw a similar problem, where the server was refusing to run a
script because the DIRECTORY it was in was world-writeable (how the
directory became world writable is another question....).

So, I'm migrating a site from my test-server (Powerbook running
Apache/Darwin BSD) to my web host and all my CGI scripts are giving me
that error. The header error is also the only error that's showing up
in the error_log.

I've checked all the usual suspects:

file permissions (775)
syntax (perl -Tc is clean)
malformed headers (using CGI.pm->header(), so not likely)
script runs fine from command line on web server (which I believe rules
out binary transfer and carraige returns)

The site is on a managed server which has an automated setup process,
so its highly unlikely that this is a bad ScriptAlias directive.

Any thoughts?

Matt

I am new to CGI, I thought you people might be able to help me:

My HTML code:
--------

CGI Multiplication Example

My C CGI Script code:
--------
#include
#include
int main(void)
{
char *data;
long m,n;
printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
printf(" Multiplication results \n");
printf("

Mutliplication results

\n");
data = getenv("QUERY_STRING");
if(*data == ' ')
printf("

ERROR

");
else
if(scanf(data,"m=%%1d&n=%%1d",&m,&n)!=2)
printf("

ERROR

");
else
printf("The product of %%1d and %%1d is
%%1d",m,n,m*n);
return 0;
}
-----------

Now when I run my HTML, it is giving Internal Server Error, I am using
Apache Web Server below is error message that I have found in Error log
file:

----------

The page using it is http://www.blendedsytems.com/newcont.html

As far as I can see (after several days of staring at the screen), the
variables in the html page match the variables in the template.

When I use the page, I get:

Form was not processed due to an error.

Where have I screwed up?

Here's the line from the
html page with the form on it:

Aca's
Betty Davis

The only thing that changes in that line above is the name,
Aca'sBettyDavis becomes one of 1199 other names. This line is repeated
1200 times with a different name in there.

This is the email template that I'm using:

What is your name? [yourname]
What is your email address? [email]
What is your telephone number? [telnumber]

African Violets Ordered:

[productcode]

What I really need this form to do is to return the name of the violet
that they've checked off. It could be one checkbox or 1200 checkboxes,
just depends on the person doing the ordering.

I just know it's something silly that I'm missing, but I just can't
figure it out. And I'm no kind of programmer at all!! :) Thanks for any
help.

JOE!

You're sending a question to thousands of people, with no clue as to the
context. How about using the quoting that Google provides for you?

The problem with your template is/was that you used a user-provided email
address in the To: header. Don't do that!!!!!!!

No one is flaming you about spam. We're simply pointing out to you that what

No, you came to thousands of people who are Usenet users. The fact that
Google groups also post to and archive Usenet newsgroups is irrelevant.

You expected help from Google groups. How many Google subscribers came to
your aid?

O.K. What about following the advice that was given to you? You should not,
NO, MUST NOT, put a user-supplied email address in the "To:" field in your
template.

You haven't grasped the significance of this advice. Actually, you shouldn't
allow user-supplied data in ANY of the headers in your template, because you
can't be sure that the mail software has been patched to prevent the %%oa
exploit from changing your headers.

By not using your drop-down menu.

One way to do this would be to use a unique form for each addressee, each of

Hmm. The cgiemail template has been active every time I've tried it. Why
don't you just fix it so it sends the email just to you? Then you'll
eliminate the problem you're having with getting unsolicited advice.

Back to your original question. Did you check the configuration of the mail
program on your server? Is it sendmail? Or smail?
