Question

I can't create a new web. I get the error:

Premature end of script headers: xxx/bin/manage

I read the posts of similar errors and I verified my bin files are set to "chmod 755".

I added the -T switch to the bin/manage file and it stopped the error but it did not create the web. All that happened was my browser stayed on the same window with the "busy" wheel spinning. After about 15 minutes and checking my data director for a new web directory. Since it was not created, I kill the browser window.

Finally, my ISP uses suexec so all cgi are executed as me.

Any ideas?

Answer

Jacob - What's the permission set for your data directory? Just a long shot. Also, you might see if the new web was actually created, even though your browser is timing out.

The data directory is: drwxr-xr-x

A topic I made has this:

-r--r--r--  1 TestTool.txt,v
-rw-r--r--  1 TestTool.txt
-rw-rw-r--  1 TestTool.lock

I copied the _default to get going.

Thanks for the advice.

I had a similar issue with the previous verion of TWiki - turned out the shabang line had perl mispelled (was prel). Just a thought.

Any warnings in apache error log file or TWikis log files? Running the actions in the manage script "manually" (as the apache user) will probably give you the cause of the error - probably one of the commands is returning an unexpected error in your setup.
