Question

If I start apache from the cygwin shell it works. If I start apache as service I get the following error: "Premature end of script headers: view "

The apache log tells me:

[Wed Jul 03 10:56:58 2002] [error] [client *killed*] Premature end of script headers: view, referer: http://*killed*/

[Wed Jul 03 10:56:58 2002] [error] [client *killed*] Can't locate CGI/Carp.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at D:/twiki/bin/view line 21., referer: http://*killed*/

[Wed Jul 03 10:56:58 2002] [error] [client *killed*] BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:/twiki/bin/view line 21., referer: http://*killed*/

Any advice welcome to solve this problem!

Thanks in advance ... Holger

Answer

You are missing the CGI::Carp package, and maybe some others - download CVSget:bin/testenv and install this instead of the current testenv, and you will get some better diagnostics that should help.

Note that TWiki is not typically used with Apache 2.0, you may need to make some patches to get it to work. Apache 1.3.x would be a better choice - in fact you should try WindowsInstallCookbook for your first install.
