Title: server-manager: Internal Server Error
Post by: Pat Erler on June 11, 2002, 03:39:33 AM
Hi!

without beeing aware that i changed something on my SME 5.1.2 i suddenly get an "Internal Server Error" whatever link i click in the menu of the server-manager.

the error log gives a :

[Tue Jun 11 00:37:26 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/pleasewait

but when i run the pleasewait script from the console, everything looks fine...

i already restartet the init.d/http* script - no success

any ideas?

thanks in advance,

PAT

Answering myself..

somehow, the permissions for /tmp had been reset to 755 instead of 777 so that apache couldn't write any tempfiles there.

After searching and searching and searching, the chmod to the tmp folder fixed the problem. The needle in the haystack so to speak here.

Title: Hardware errors can cause this

Just ran into this with a machine that had had a bad power supply; even with a new hard drive & fresh SME 6.0 these errors occurred, so I am blaming the other hardware that was no doubt damaged by the faulty power supply.
