You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I'm tried to install Drake CMS several times but i got this
message :- CGI Error The specified CGI
application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP
headers.
I asked my hosting company about
this problem, and here is the answer :-
From the documentation you provided shows
that WAMP was needed in order to install Drake CMS however, WAMP
will need apache to be install. As for our system, the windows
server does not support Apache. You might want to migrate to our
linux system hosting on installation of the CMS. If you have
any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact. Thank You.
It would appear the hosting service you are using does
not support the minimum requirements under its windows hosting
plan.
You need to take up their offer to move to
another hosting plan.
Good Luck

It seems that your host is Running Windows with IIS, and not
Apache. But i do not think Apache is needed to run DrakeCMS, it
should be possible to run it on ISS too! Or not?

Can you please tell us the version of PHP
installed there?

Please tell them that this is
incorrect: Drake CMS works with any *AMP and also with IIS

I'm
confused about this because I've instaled Drake CMS on my local
server using XAMPP (also with Apache), Windows OS, and it running
perfectly.
What should I do?
Drake CMS is written in an interpreted language and is almost
OS-independent; the OS does not really matter.

Both php version 4 and 5 installed on their server and neither
version 4 and 5 are not working for installing Drake CMS. This that why I'm frustrated with my hosting company. They
never solve my problem but they asked me to migrate from windows
server to linux server.

Do you get the CGI error also on
PHP5?
Drake CMS can perfectly work on Windows server,
you don't have to spend any money

A search on Google brings up lots of threads most then refer to
This Fix
Seems to
be issues that need to be addressed at the server level, See Here

Can you please try to access some other PHP page? Like,
for example, /version.php?
Does the error happen also
with other PHP scripts?
As Terry pointed out this
might be a case of a radical problem with CGI-executed
applications, but if other PHP scripts are running there are
chances that the problem has another source.
Please
answer the previous questions.
If your host's IIS is
badly broken with PHP then the TOS you agreed upon is not being
respected...

I really don't understand on this, i had sub website on my www
root also got the same error message triggered just after i
uploaded Drake CMS in other folder. It seem one of the Drake CMS
components caused the error.

Please try with a simple .php file in any directory like:
Code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
And
see if it is executed.
Drake CMS is not the cause of
the CGI error, neither we can do anything to prevent these errors
to happen since it is a server (big) problem in this case

You'd better
tell them this fact (which simple.php cannot be executed), they
have a radical issue with any PHP file

not work, you might have more luck with an ASP/ASP.NET CMS,

Are you sure that
this code Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Was not
executed by the server?
Can you try to execute
Code:
<?php echo
"hello"; ?>
?
It is possible that
your host has buggy versions of PHP, and that Drake CMS is
triggering the buggy code (in PHP). For example, there have been
similar issues with the PCRE7 library in PHP
