Bug#444048: CGI stopped working after upgrade to 2.2.16-6+squeeze6

[Andreas B. Mundt]

Hi,

I run apache with the userdir module enabled.  Users can have their
own cgi-bin directory in ~/public_html.  This worked fine until
yesterday, where it stopped working. (Standard HTML code still works,
but not the cgi-bin scripts.)

The error reported is the well known: 
Premature end of script headers 

>From the logs it looks as if apache (and some other related packages)
have been upgraded yesterday, so I suspect this caused the failure:

 Preparing to replace apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze4 (using 
.../apache2_2.2.16-6+squeeze6_i386.deb) ...

Any ideas what might have happened and how to solve it?


Best regards,

 Andi

Many thanks for the answer.  I found the error, it was in no way
related to the upgrade of apache.  (I modified fstab the last days but
accidentially picked the wrong line.  This resulted in a noexec mount
option for the partition which containes the users' home directories.
This of course spoils the user's CGI scripts.  Unfortunatelly this
coincided with the package upgrade.)

So I beg you pardon for the noise.  Many thanks for your work,

   Andi
