I am getting this error when I try to run a program in my cgi-bin directory
(don't know what I'm still missing to make it work):
***

As far as I know, I have the correct entries in my http.conf file and have
created a .htaccess file and a .htpasswd file for access requirements (and
both the directories and programs are allowing read/execute access to
'other').
When I run the program from an html page (from a submit button) I get a
popup window asking me to enter an ID and password (btw is this window
supposed to come up? I thought the .htpasswd file was supposed to allow for
the apache user id to have access to programs in cgi-bin?). If I enter an
entry in the .htpasswd file it just the window continues to popup
indefinitely... if I cancel the window, then I get the 'Authentication
required!' error (details below).
ALSO, if I remove the .htaccess file from the cgi-bin dir I get these errors
(followed by the log errors):
***
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: ack.cgi

Any idea what might still be missing in my setup?

Well, I tried copying everything to my main apache cgi-bin directory and
from there the programs DO run (so this has to be a setup problem in the
conf file or with htaccess or perhaps something else when it comes to the
/home/group3 /cgi-bin for a particular user setup). Still wondering what's
not complete there?
--
Now, regarding running it from the main cgi-bin, the problem
I'm having there is accessing the PostGres database. I think I've setup the
correct user access to the database (I've added the group3 and apache users
to it) BUT when I try to open it I get a
"Internal error in server: could not access database"
error. Any idea why I might be missing to allow access to it? PostGres IS
running as a service.
My code to access the DB is:
***
PgDatabase conn ("host=localhos t dbname=group3") ;
if ( conn.Connection Bad() )
{
HTMLstream reply;
reply << "Internal error in server: could not access
database";
reply.send();
}
else
....
***
Thx for any suggestions!
