suPHP. Premature end of s.

[Wiesemarc]

I have installed php4 and php5 after this http://howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4 howto, and now i have used the http://howtoforge.com/apache2_suphp_php4_php5 howto, an have checked the logs and all files on the server has the right permissions. But i just get "Premature end of script header: info.php", i have been searching for answers on this all day and yesterday, but nothing about this ?

I have tried to change "x-httpd-php" in suphp.conf to /usr/bin/php4-cgi and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4-cgi but same error everytime.

Hope some of you guys have seen this error before and know what it is.

What's in Apache's error log? What's the output of apache2 -t or httpd2 -t?

[Wiesemarc]

apache2 -t gives:
Syntax OK

apache2 -v gives:

Error.log:
[Tue Nov 14 12:58:09 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: index.php
What's in that index.php file?

[Wiesemarc]

In the file index.php this is:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

[falko]

What happens if you change it to
<?php
phpinfo();
?>?

[Wiesemarc]

Then i will get the same error.
Have also tried <? echo "test; ?>, <?php echo "test; ?> <?PHP echo "test; ?> and others, but same error everytime, if i change the dir to 644 i will get the pcfg_openfile error (.htaccess)

Don't really know what to do next.

Directories must always be executable, so you should chmod it back to 755 (or whatever it was before).

Can you post your Apache vhost configuration here? Which PHP is your CGI version, and which an Apache module?

[Wiesemarc]

Apache Vhost Info:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/mydata/test"
ServerName domain
ServerAlias domain
ServerAdmin mail
ErrorLog /var/www/logs/admin/test.ooz.dk-error.log

Can you put this:

<Directory /var/www/mydata/test>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

right at the beginning of your vhost and change it to

<Directory /var/www/mydata/test>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>?

What's the output of /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4 -v and which php4?

[Wiesemarc]

#/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php4 -v

Did this <Directory ...> thing help?

[raruiz]

I had the same problem and solved reading here.
suphp and premature end of script ....
I found my directory permission were 777, and changed it to 755. Works fine now. Thank you.
