How to run sh cgi scripts on Raspbian?

BryanFRitt · Published in 2016-7-26 04:23:22

I set up Apache as webserver that hosts a webpage, and that works. But when I try to run my sh cgi script I get a "Internal Server Error", and the log shows as "...Premature end of script headers..." followed by a "...Zlib: Compressed..." for every browser attempt to load the file. I've even tried with close to the simplest script I could make; same results. I also ran `service apache2 restart` after making changes.
When run from the terminal, my sh script works like it's supposed to.
How can I get this working? Do I need to install something, change some setting, or do something else?

I've gotten cgi to work on my laptop, but not the Pi. Has anyone gotten cgi working Orange Pi using Raspbian? (or other OS)?

Hate to start over, but curious, Is there an OS I can put on this headless OPP that can run cgi made with bash/sh?

Schools and universities generally block the sites that children use for entertainment. Like music sites, movies and games. They keep blocking sites as they discover them. Get gaming sites unblocked list here.
