Hello,

= ; I am running RedHat 7.2 with Apache 1.3. For some reason I am getting the following error in my log = file:

[Wed Jun 5 = 09:55:49 2002] [error] [client 192.168.10.6] malformed header from script. Bad header=3DRecipient names must be specif: = /home/sites/runningroom/cgi-bin/af.cgi

The client side receives:

Internal Server Error<= /b>

The server encountered an = internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. = <= /p>
Please contact the server administrator, = i.t.dept@runningroom.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might = have done that may have caused the error. <= /p>
More information about this error may be available in the = server error log.

Can anyone help, I need a configuration that will always allow = cgi to work.
