cgi osx etc

[Sadhunathan Nadesan]

Hi

Just run the script directly from the command line and
see what error message you are getting back from either
Unix or MC.

Premature end of headers means apache got something that
was not prefixedwith the content type etc, ie, the
script didn't run.

| Couple of things to try.  One, I use #!mc and not #!/mc, but that's probably
| not your problem.  However, make sure that the script file you wrote is
| saved with UNIX line breaks!  Not Mac line breaks.  If you haven't already,
| grab a copy of Bbedit lite, which is free, free, free and awesome.  It can
| easily save your script with UNIX line breaks.  I'd guess that's the
| problem.
