An Internal Server Error please help

yoramdar · Jan 16, 2004

Hi Mates,

Recently I migrated to a new server running FreeBSD 4.9 and apache 2.0.47. Unfortunately one of my cgi scripts does not work. The error log indicates on “malformed header”, while on the browser I get an Internal Server Error message, this suppresses me since the cgi ran correctly on the old server.

Here is the error message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator,

Thank you for your help

Can you show us the lines of your CGI printing the header out?

I bet you are not printing a 'real' header but just printing 'Content-type: text/html\n\n' which does not always work.

Here is the whole script
the variables $to, $from, filename, @comments I get from the client.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw

all);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

sub send_mail {
my($to, $from, $subject, $filename, @comments)=@_;

my $sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";

open(MAIL, "|$sendmail&quot

|| die "Can't start sendmail: $!";

print MAIL<<END_OF_HEADER;
From: $from
To: $to
Subject: $subject

END_OF_HEADER

print MAIL "$filename\n";
foreach (@comments) {
print MAIL "$_\n";
}
close(MAIL);
}

print header;

my ($FileName)=param("FileName&quot

;
my ($From)=param("From&quot

;
my ($Email)=param("Email&quot

;
my (@Comments)=param("Comments&quot

;

my ($subject)="You have got mail";

send_mail($Email,
$From,
$subject,
$FileName,
param("Comments&quot

);

print<<END_OF_HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>reply </title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#C5C2FB">
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="center"> </div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center"><b><font size="5" color="#3300CC">Thank You </font></b></p>
</body>
</html>
END_OF_HTML

Is

my $sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";

valid? Meaning is that where sendmail actually is and does it take the -t command?

You may be boming out at that level.
