Please contact the server administrator, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. Looking in /var/log/apache2/error_log I found [Wed Jul 04 10:22:06 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=<head><title>Index of /usr/sha: makeindex.perl Looking at other simple scripts lead me to add print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n"; All is good now!

Hmm. I never intended to run it that way. I run a cronjob as root, with output directed to "index.html". I'd worry that your way would be too slow. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
