hello -
i keep seeing "End of script output before headers" in my apache log on the new Centos 8 box but not my old C7 box.
so i created a very simple script and i get the same error: (script runs FINE on centos7)
----
#!/bin/sh
echo content-type: text/plain
echo
date
-----
set protection 755, 777, etc. set owner apache:apache
at this point, i am running out of things to try.
i looked at this too (added this line)
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
# httpd -M | grep cgi ;
cgi_module (shared)
proxy_fcgi_module (shared)
proxy_scgi_module (shared)
cgid_module (shared)
fcgid_module (shared)
suggestions?
tiny shell-script suggested here:

I have a Centos 8 VM (upgraded from Centos 7 a few months ago), and don't have any problems running CGI scripts using the default Apache configuration and a simple shell script, e.g.
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
echo content-type: text/plain
echo
date
set
|
Produces this output https://apaste.info/JucE
File protection is
| Code: | [root@localhost cgi-bin]# ls -la /var/www/cgi-bin
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 18 Mar 23 16:52 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 33 Mar 23 16:00 ..
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 apache apache 54 Mar 23 16:52 test
|
Are there no other error messages preceding your "End of script output before headers" entries, to indicate what's causing the problem?
Might it be an selinux issue, so presume you've checked messages and audit.log?
Either way, I'd try temporarily changing the apache account shell from /sbin/nologin to /bin/bash, switch user from root to apache, and then try running your cgi script to see what output it produces.
Have you considered using the Apache suEXEC feature for your CGI scripts? |

interesting:
| Quote: | # journalctl -b | grep “suexec” | tail -10 ;

You may also check the EOL.
In doubt run dos2unix for the test file. |

| it turns out that there is a conflict with Centos-8 and Virtualmin. |
