For some reason, when I try to install PerlDesk (I know a lot of people here use PerlDesk), I constantly get server 500 errors in my browser, but when I try running it from the command line (to see if I was missing any modules), it shows:

root@server1 [/home/hosting/www/helpdesk/cgi-bin]# /home/hosting/www/helpdesk/cgi-bin/install.cgi
Content-type:text/html

The only error I get is:

[Mon Dec 2 15:26:52 2002] [error] [client 68.38.***.***] Premature end of script headers: /home/hosting/public_html/helpdesk/cgi-bin/admin.cgi


Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Is there any way to disable it for a single domain, not the entire server?

Don't disable suexec. Just figure out what the problem with suexec is. Look in the suexec_log

So what should I change the permissions of cgi-bin to?

755 would be the most permissive and still work

Hmmm... That would make sense, I though I had tried that before. It's working now, maybe I'll write down what I do next time to keep track better :D .

Thanks,
