First off, I apologize for asking a question that I know you get a
lot, but I have just spent the last hour and a half beating my head
against the wall and searching the internet trying to find a
solution with no luck.
Short version: I have an existing OpenBSD 4.0 box on which Apache
(version 1.3.29) is working properly, including execution of CGI
scripts. I am trying to move to a new machine with OpenBSD 4.1, so
I started with a fresh OpenBSD 4.1 install, which comes with the
same version of Apache as 4.0, and copied the httpd.conf file over
from my old machine. After starting the web server, however, I
found that it could not run any CGI scripts- always just giving me
the following error:
[Thu Aug 23 08:45:40 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end
of script headers: /cgi-bin/test-cgi
The details: Aside from being OpenBSD 4.1, the new box is set up
the same as the old one. I have checked and double checked the
permissions on both the cgi files, including the test cgi included
with the install, as well as the CGI folder. The test-cgi, as well
as the printenv both run fine from a terminal window. I tried
reverting to the factory default httpd.conf, with no luck. The
permissions on the contents of the cgi-bin folder are as follows:
ls -l /var/www/cgi-bin/
total 212
---------- 1 root bin 99072 Mar 10 16:41 bgplg
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Aug 23 07:59 nagios
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 268 Mar 10 16:32 printenv
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 757 Mar 10 16:32 test-cgi
the cgi-bin folder itself has 755 permissions. The relevant section
from the httpd.conf file is as follows:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
#
# "@@ServerRoot@@/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your
ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I have tried adding an "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" directive to
that block, as one webpage I found suggested, as well as changing
the "Option none" to "Options ExecCGI". I did, of course, restart
the server between each configuration change. I have also tried
with various different CGI scripts, most of which come from a fresh
install. Nothing seems to make any difference- I still get the
"premature end of script headers" error. If this was linux, i'd say
check the SELinux settings, but it isn't. What am I missing here?

Are your CGI scripts written in Perl,Python, etc? Check that the
path of the executables match
the shebang line!!!!!!!!!
