[Mailman-Developers] Internal server error when accessing admin pages

[Marc MERLIN]

I've gotten several bug reports on SF  for people who can't get to the admin
pages

The only error apache gives me is:
[Thu Jul 12 15:47:17 2001] [error] [client 171.71.41.31] Premature end of
script headers: /var/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin

I never had the problem myself and it seems to come and go

Is there any debugging I can in mailman to at least give me some error in my
apache error log? (or do you think it's an apache problem?)

Attached is one of the tickets I've gotten

Thanks,
Marc

Initial Comment:
A post to a mailing list needs admin attention (it's a
moderated list). The URL:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/admindb/leap-announce

results in:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator,
staff@sourceforge.net and inform them of the time the
error occurred, and anything you might have done that
may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in
the server error log.
Could you look into it.

In a nutshell, this ceased to be a problem the next day, i'd
forgotten about this ticket until the status changed.

I had given a detailed response to your queries, but mozilla
crashed on me before i clicked on the submit, and i was in a
hurry, so i didn't get around to reposting it.

in a nutshell:

- all browsers tried (opera, netscape & mozilla)
- had a URL via e-mail to attend to pending admin requests.
- yes it gave the same error with netscape
- it was the message received on going to the URL contained
in the e-mail.

What browser? Does it fail repeatetly from different places?
Does it fail with plain netscape?
Does it fail when you access the page, or when you post back
a form?
