 Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:29 pm Post subject: mailman premature end of script headers |
 |
|
I have created my own mailman installation on a system I do have root access on, but already hosts a mailman version and I wanted to run my own.
The group and username I created both are 'vocisml'. The cgi are not suexeced so every script should be ran as www-data.
I launched configure with these parameters:
./configure --prefix=/home/vocisml/install/mailman --with-groupname=vocisml --with-username=vocisml --with-cgi-gid=www-data
After this I ran make and make install, ofcourse.
At this point I edited my apacheconfig and mm_cfg.py
apache config:
-----
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /home/vocisml/install/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /home/vocisml/install/mailman/archives/public/
<Directory /home/vocisml/install/mailman/cgi-bin/>
Options +FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI
</Directory>
<Directory /home/vocisml/install/mailman/archives/public/>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
-----
mm_cfg:
-----
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'voidzero.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'voidzero.net'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 0
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_VOLUME_FREQUENCY = 3
DEFAULT_DIGEST_VOLUME_FREQUENCY = 3
MTA = 'Postfix'
-----
Now it was time to edit the postfix configs:
added alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/home/vocisml/install/mailman/data/aliases
-----
I ran check-perms -f and all permissions are good now. I manually changed all of these scripts
to group www-data. When I su as user www-data and launch the file 'admin' for example,
all is good. When I visit http://voidzero.net/mailman/admin, or any other page, I now get a 500 error, with
"Premature end of script headers" in my logs. This is where I'm stuck..
I hope someone wants to help me, thanks a lot.. |

As nobody has answered so far, I will give it a try, admitting that I do not now mailman, but apache.
In which language are the cgi scripts returning the mentioned errors?
Copy or create a test.cgi, give it the same permissions and ownerships as the other scripts and try to run it. The content of a standard test.cgi could be | Quote: | #!/bin/sh
# disable filename globbing
set -f
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo CGI/1.0 test script report:
echo
echo argc is $#. argv is "$*".
echo
echo SERVER_SOFTWARE = $SERVER_SOFTWARE
echo SERVER_NAME = $SERVER_NAME
echo GATEWAY_INTERFACE = $GATEWAY_INTERFACE
echo SERVER_PROTOCOL = $SERVER_PROTOCOL
echo SERVER_PORT = $SERVER_PORT
echo REQUEST_METHOD = $REQUEST_METHOD
echo HTTP_ACCEPT = "$HTTP_ACCEPT"
echo PATH_INFO = "$PATH_INFO"
echo PATH_TRANSLATED = "$PATH_TRANSLATED"
echo SCRIPT_NAME = "$SCRIPT_NAME"
echo QUERY_STRING = "$QUERY_STRING"
echo REMOTE_HOST = $REMOTE_HOST
echo REMOTE_ADDR = $REMOTE_ADDR
echo REMOTE_USER = $REMOTE_USER
echo AUTH_TYPE = $AUTH_TYPE
echo CONTENT_TYPE = $CONTENT_TYPE
echo CONTENT_LENGTH = $CONTENT_LENGTH
|
you can also just leave the whole variable stuff and simply echo "hello" like | Quote: | #!/bin/sh
set -f
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo "hello" |
if the permission settings are alright, this script should return / print out your cgi environment (or hello  ). If not, we have to check your apache settings again.
