Failure Installation
09 November 2007 12:18
Anonymous 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 :-

---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,

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.

Best Regards,

Jeffrey

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?

Anonymous Hi and Welcome

Here are the system requirements that you need as a minimum to install and run Drake CMS..

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

Anonymous 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

Drake CMS is written in an interpreted language and is almost OS-independent; the OS does not really matter.

Anonymous 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

Anonymous 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... ermm

Anonymous 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 answer the previous questions, or else give a clue about which component caused the CGI error

I'm also not sure which 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

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
