Dear community, I do not like to cross-post, but I cannot find a solution to this problem (yes, I searched). The discussion started at [1], but I am seeking help also here, because I cannot get what is wrong and I cannot understand how to get more detailed error logs - so I thought that a specialized mailing list could help.
The issue is related to CGI scripts executed in user directory. I am working on Fedora 23, with the default Apache configuration. CGI are working correctly in /var/www/cgi-bin, and user_dir has been enabled and works correctly (serving web pages and php scripts). I am trying to serve cgi scripts from /home/*/public_html/cgi-script, but when I run a script - any script - I get the not-so-informative error: [cgi:error] End of script output before headers: test.cgi, referer: http://localhost/user/cgi-bin/ Now, to ensure that everything was as I intended, I disabled CGIs in the server configuration: AddHandler(s), SetHandler(s) and ScriptAlias(s) are commented in global and virtual hosts. They are also disabled in the user directory config file. In this way, no CGI script is executed. Enabling Indexes allows me to list the cgi scripts, but they are opened as text files instead of being executed - as I intended. My user-directory config file is this one: <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir enable UserDir public_html </IfModule> <Directory "/home/*/public_html"> AllowOverride All Options +MultiViews +Indexes +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +IncludesNoExec Require all granted </Directory> <Directory "/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin"> #Options +ExecCGI #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes Require all granted AllowOverride All </Directory> Note that CGIs are disabled. Now, from what I understand, un-commenting the ExecCGI and AddHandler should suffice to make the .cgi scripts in ~/public_html/cgi-bin runnable. I am experimenting with a simple script, with mode 755, with the following content: test.cgi #!/usr/bin/sh echo "Content-type: text/plain" echo "" echo "Hello" As I was saying, trying to run this script results in a "End of script output before headers: test.cgi,". I didn't understand if this may help in this case, but I tried to enable ScriptLog, adding this in the global configuration: ScriptLog "logs/cgi_log" to make it work, I created the file and set it owned and writable for the apache user: # touch /etc/httpd/logs/cgi_log # chown apache:apache /etc/httpd/logs/cgi_log # chmod 755 /etc/httpd/logs/cgi_log But the logs are empty. I don't know if I should expect any output for this kind of error anyway. IDK if this may help: # httpd -V AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::c2f8:daff:fe89:afde.

Can someone help me on this, please?
