Question

Hi,

I have installed Twiki sucessfuly on my site, however when a user tries to use the ResetPassword? feature the following error occurs:

---

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@meruPLEASENOSPAM.org.uk and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

The server log says:

---

No -I allowed while running setuid. [Tue Dec 11 09:05:07 2001] [error] [client 212.240.235.58] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/twiki/bin//passwd

---

(five more times!)

Could someone tell me what's up!?

Sorry if this is a particularly dumb question!

Simon .

Answer

Please remove the I. from the shi-bang line (the first line) to read this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

This option is obsolete and may cause problems as you discovered.

Sorry, but where is the script located?

-- SimonJudge - 24 Dec 2001

The script will be in your normal CGI bin directory, e.g. /foo/bar/twiki/bin.
