Premature end of script headers

[matthewamzn]

I've been trying to install a popular free top list script for my website. I uploaded the script using ASCII. But I keep getting this error message when I try to log into the admin panel of the script.

Premature end of script headers: admin.cgi

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Different reasons're possible. Syntax, path(s), other settings you change. Tip : download DzSoft Perl Editor and use it as a debugger (i didn't used others). You'll save a lot of time, sure.

Try editing the first line of the script (known as the shebang line or "path to perl" line). Add a "-w" at the end (without the quotes).

Try running the script again. Then, check your error log. There should be detailed info in the log describing the problem.
