Hi Everyone,

I have RedHat Linux 9 + Openwebmail 2.51 ,When i login i am getting Error as follows :

Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: openwebmail-main.pl
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
Error 500



Please help me out...

Is the script executable by the user that your web server us running as? What do you get when you run ls -l /path/to/openwebmail-main.pl ?

I saw a similar error today when I was compiling a new version of backuppc. The first line of the script should look like a comment, but actually call the interpreter. For example, I got that error because a file, configure.pl started with #!/bin/perl, but on my system perl is found in /usr/bin/perl, so I had to modify the line to be #!/usr/bin/perl.

As Gilead pointed out, check the permissions on the script, and also check the top line, and see if where the script is calling perl is correct or not. I'm thinking it isn't.

Peace,

once .i got the same question,at last i find i didn't install perl-suidperl package,i download one ,it works!

reinstalling suidperl and openwebmail worked for me
