I cannot get a script for a counter to run. And I cannot find the problem.
The error log shows "Premature end of script headers: /home/virtual/site200/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/count.cgi" In reading a previous posting, the suggestion was incorrect paths or incorrect permissions. All paths have been verified.
