Hi, I've done some work in perl before, and i opened my hosting account with TCH so i could further play around with it. I had a script that i had downloaded and been trying to understand and modify. <br /><br />I uploaded the script and tried to execute it, and i kept getting errors. Through troubleshooting, i went back to a script i knew should work... and it still doesnt. I seem to be missing something, and cannot get anything to work. The debug script i was trying to test with is a simple hello world script.<br /><br />#!/usr/bin/perl<br />print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";<br />print "<H1>Hello World</H1>\n";<br /><br />and it gives me the error:<br /><br />[Mon Dec 20 14:08:01 2004] [error] [client 68.123.5.66] Premature end of script headers: /home/nickhea/public_html/cgi-bin/hw.pl<br /><br /><br />I've made sure to upload it in ASCII, and converted the file to UNIX line breaks, and made sure it was CHMODed to 755 (as was suggested on various websites about this error--Still nothing).<br /><br />Any tips on what the issue might be?<br />Thanks, <br />Nick<!--content-->

Hi Nick<br /><br />I work extensively with Perl and have had similar problems. Generally I upload to TCH using SmartFTP with ASCII transfer set as default. However I have found that if I upload using the TCH control panel file upload I invariably get this error which means that it hasn't uploaded in ASCII.<br /><br />To get round this use the File Manager from your control panel - edit the script then immediately save it again and see if that works. I don't believe uploading scripts to TCH servers using the control panel really works properly. Download a copy of SmartFTP and upload using that.<!--content-->
I actually use CuteFTP pro... I sent that it using that.<br /><br />Well. I seemed to have fixed it, playing around with the perl code.<br />I didnt really change anything, it just kind of started working suddenly. *shrug*<!--content-->
Welcome to the family, Nick <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />I use CuteFTP to upload my perl scripts. Are you sure you uploaded in ASCII? You can add the .pl extension to the text file extensions? Sometimes I have problems with forcing ASCII mode unless I add them to the text extension list.<!--content-->
