It might be that your scripts are not sending the HTTP headers (things
like :"Content-type: text/html". It is possible that your old webserver
took care of that, but apache most certainly doesn't. If I remember well
this gives "premature end of header" errors.
If this is the problem, just add a "Content-type: xxxx/xxxx" line,
followed by a blank line to the output of your scripts.
Of course, it is entirely possible that your problem is something
different altogether.
