CGI Error

[dkjack]

Hi all,
I am NOT a progammer, and I don't know much about MySQL, and CGI. BUT, I am trying to install a free script that uses PHP/MySQL database. I am able to make a connection to the server as an administrator, and to access to the configuration page. From here, everything link will give me and error as shown below:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I know that this will show how much I know. Please shine some light about this one.
Many thanks for any helps.

What language are you using? PHP or Perl? If it is Perl, make sure that you send headers before printing any content. See forum219.

Thanks many times Chessbot,
it is written in PHP, and i don't what else I can tell you. Please ask.

 

[chessbot]

Can you copy and paste some of the code?

I see that you have reposted in the PHP forum. Let's let this thread die; that is a more appropriate place for this problem.
