Furthermore, lately even our regular CGI scripts have begun to fail with this error message. Neither our config file nor our CGIs have been changed. >How-To-Repeat: A simple server-side include using exec cgi will show the problem. >Fix: I've looked at the code briefly but I don't see anything obviously wrong >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 24 16:12:24 PST 1997 State-Changed-Why: Did you modify anything in your setup that could cause this?
