It could indeed be line endings. Take a look at the server's error log. You should be able to get to it via FTP. It may have some clues.

I'm working on a "globals.cgi" script myself right now and just looked at error log. It says: [Wed Mar 26 18:38:20 2008] [error] [client 24.20.73.192] /home/nweta/bin/rev29rc3: Can't open display [Wed Mar 26 18:38:20 2008] [error] [client 24.20.73.192] Premature end of script headers: globals.cgi

Turns out I had the wrong line endings in my script. So in TextWrangler (Mac) I changed them to "Unix (LF)" with the little menu at the bottom edge of the window, saved the script again and it worked! Yaaaaay.

I reverted back to the 2.6.1 engine now, and I see it runs fine there too. It was telling me I was missing some .so files until I changed my line endings. Wow.

Phil, Thanks for offering these checks. So far
- My permissions are the same for each file.
- I made the first line the same for each cgi as well.
- I tried renaming to the.mt format. No luck

I am getting internal server errors.

Could it be line endings??

Thanks, Tom McGrath

I know this is obvious, but it sounds like you need to find out what's "right" about the .mt file, and apply it to the other script files.

Some places to start:

- file permissions - apparently those of echo.mt are correct; are permissions of other files identical to these?

- Rev engine path, stated in first line of script - make line 1 of all scripts like line 1 of echo.mt

- I remember once having scripts disallowed from running (by Apache?) because their filenames didn't end with ".cgi"; maybe yours have to end with ".mt"?

- if you get "internal error" messages from the others, they may contain script code errors.
