Apache/PHP : internal server error

[Patrick Masson]

Hello,

Our configuration :

Apache 2.0.53
PHP 5.0.4
PC Windows 2000
MATLAB 6.1

We work on a consulting project in France which involves MATLAB Web server,
Database Toolbox. This application allows user to have a web interface to
MATLAB functions which invokes database connection to Microsoft Access. This
application, in order to run, needs a proper and safe installation of Apache
and PHP. This MATLAB based application behaves as expected.

The concept of this application is as follow :

- from HTML pages, the user fills specific information and then applies them
(click OK or another action)
- Apache and PHP interprets/gets user's information filled in the HTML page
- Apache and PHP then executes a connection to MATLAB via MATLAB webserver
- MATLAB performs data processing, database conection, savesfigures, and
then returns to Apache and PHP, an html form in a text format, and some
images stored in a specific temporayr folder
- Apache and PHP are supposed to get those informations in order to update
the HTML page and publish this new one (PHP does this work by replacing some
keyword, like $Name by a value returned by MATLAB, insert images produced by
MATLAB in the HTML page)

BUT, in one case, in one specific selection, we run into troubles with this
application. PHP and Apache generate an error :

see error web.txt, for an overview of the error generated by our internet
explorer
see error apache.txt, for an overview of the apache error log
see page html.txt, for an overview of the last HTML page invoked before the
issue pops up

I also put in my public folder apache configuration's file (httpd.conf),
php.ini file and upload.php3, PHP script used to create dynamically the new
HTML page.

Files are stored in \\home-toaster\public\ Patrick_Masson\ tmw

I would need your help debugging this error and find ways to dig into this
error. As of today, my attempts did fail and I am still faced to a lack of
new ideas to get into it.

All tips and tricks to debug or solve this issue would be highly
appreciated.

Thank you very mcuh for your help.

Best regards,

Patrick Masson

PS: this issue is critical and I would need urgent help.

>Error web:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguratio n and was unable
to complete your request.
This error has several causes all of them related to a CGI or PHP
program not generating correct headers (Content-type:, etc.)

1. The program dumped core or aborted before generating any output.
2. The program could not be executed due to incorrect permissions
(either Apache or OS) or missing shared libraries.
3. The program generated error messages *BEFORE* the Content-type
header about things like missing include files or libraries,
or debugging code is misplaced.
4. The program forgot to output the Content-type header or the blank
line separating the headers from the content.

from script. Bad header=trtrtrtr tr: matweb.exe, referer:

This error message suggests that something is trying to output
content without headers.
