Server error
Help please !!
I am not a newbie but I am having great difficulties in installing this script.
I have changed only two lines in order to get the script working first, but I dont seem to be able to do even that.
The two lines I have edited are as follows:

Path to Perl now reads: /usr/bin/perl i.e.( total line content reads #!/usr/bin/perl )
$db_dir_url = "http://www.redtin.co.uk/cgi-bin/dbman"; (no trailing /)

I have up loaded the script files using "cute ftp" and DOUBLE checked the settings in cute ftp, they read :
host type: Unix
transfer type: ASCII

I have set all permissions as per the readme file and at one point even tried chmod 777 throughout to try and get the script to run. No luck, so I have now returned them to their required settings.

The server error log reports an error from the server:
[Fri Mar 2 22:28:42 2001] [error] [client 62.64.155.153] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/redtin.co.uk/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

I host my site with http://www.zenithtech.com/

I have checked and re-checked my syntax and can find nothing wrong.
I have read all requests for help regarding this subject in the forum but have found nothing directly related to my error.

I have tried altering the $db_script_path to the full local path instead of the path (".")
i.e. "/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/redtin.co.uk/cgi-bin/dbman" NB(no trailin /)
But still no joy. I still get the above server error.

I have posted a copy of these three files: db.cgi html.pl default.cfg as text files in my public directory as follows:
http://www.redtin.co.uk/db.txt
http://www.redtin.co.uk/html.txt
http://www.redtin.co.uk/default.txt

Can anyone help to solve this mystery? Please !!! 8-)
