CGI Error when trying to run install

Post by tcustomgolf »

I have run the CMS install on two other hosts successfully, but getting the below error on a third:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


and that's it....doesn't return anything.

Tried running via the index.php in the root, and also via the install/instal.php. It happens as soon as I run the install.

Any help would be appreciated.

And, FYI....

This was a different host than the other two, but they say all the install requirements meet what CMSMS requires; and I am running v.13.

Is your server a Windows server running IIS? It could that a patch from Microsoft will fix it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -US;884764

A suggestion in the php bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25863
is to:
Hi all!

Actually, all you need to do is specify a MIME type.  Put this line at
the top of your code, and voila!

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

Pretty simple really...  ;)
So you could try adding

Code: Select all

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
to the top of both index.php and install/install.php after this line:

Code: Select all

<?php
Note: I don't have time to take on any more projects. I'm quite busy. I may be too busy to reply to emails or messages. Thanks for your understanding. :)

Elijah,

Thanks for all the good info....

I was led to believe the server was Linux with Apache...the error seems to be an IIS issue, so I went back to the company to get the specs of the server to be sure.

I did try the updates to index/instal.php and same error, so it could possibly be the former, and I guess the host would need to patch IIS.

P.S. - Just found out it is a Linux/Apache server....

Any other thoughts??

Sounds like something between php/apache to me.  We don't even have an error like that in our code.

Are you having issues running any other php apps on that machine?

Haven't tried any others....a brand new shared host with nothing else on it....
Any php app you know of I could try?
