The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Apache + cgi file, Internal server error, Premature end of scripts!

Asked by ldbkutty in CGI Scripting, Apache Web Server, Perl Programming Language

Tags: cgi, apache, end, premature, error

I have Apache 2.x, PHP 5.x installed in Linux server. The application has PHP files in the document root and 2 .cgi files (upload.cgi and progress.cgi) in the apache's cgi-bin directory. The upload.cgi takes care of uploading the file from the client to the server and the progress.cgi displays the progress bar of how much % of data is being transferred. So, basically the application is a mixture of PHP and Perl (since PHP doesn't handle the raw POST data)! Now, everything works fine and great!!

Problem is in the production environment. They have Apache 1.3 and PHP 5.x installed in Linux server. Small images less than say 500 KBytes works just fine. If the image is > 500 KByte, the progress bar works till 99% and upload.cgi reports "An internal server occurred". The apache error log says: "Premature end of scripts at header.cgi". This happens for 1MB image as well as 4.5MB image file but not for the < 500 KB image files!

I checked the max_upload_time, upload limit, etc., everything is okay. I wonder why this problem occurs only if the file size is bigger!

Please advise.
