Internal server error when accessing admin pages
I've gotten several bug reports on SF for people who can't get to the admin pages
The only error apache gives me is: [Thu Jul 12 15:47:17 2001] [error] [client 171.71.41.31] Premature end of script headers: /var/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin
I never had the problem myself and it seems to come and go
Is there any debugging I can in mailman to at least give me some error in my apache error log? (or do you think it's an apache problem?)
Attached is one of the tickets I've gotten
Thanks, Marc

In a nutshell, this ceased to be a problem the next day, i'd forgotten about this ticket until the status changed.
I had given a detailed response to your queries, but mozilla crashed on me before i clicked on the submit, and i was in a hurry, so i didn't get around to reposting it.
in a nutshell:
- all browsers tried (opera, netscape & mozilla)
- had a URL via e-mail to attend to pending admin requests.
- yes it gave the same error with netscape
- it was the message received on going to the URL contained
in the e-mail.

What browser? Does it fail repeatetly from different places? Does it fail with plain netscape? Does it fail when you access the page, or when you post back a form?

I've seen this occasionally too, but I also haven't been able to track it down. No tracebacks in the Apache logs, or in the Mailman logs.
Now, I've /only/ ever seen it with Mozilla 0.9.2 and have never hit it with NS4 or IE on Windows. Can you find out which browser these users were using? I'm not saying it's Mozilla related, but that's the only connection I've got so far.

I've gotten a couple of reports for konqueror, a couple for mozilla, and one person said it also failed with netscape when he tried that instead (I think the ticket I attached was that one actually), but considering it's my only report of it failing with netscape, I can't say for sure.
I'll definitely keep asking what browsers were involved.

FWIW, I've got a report about this with Konqueror now.
