Hi
I get this error in my error log:
[Mon Dec 29 04:35:09.016736 2014] [fastcgi:error] [pid 21815] [client 178.62.80.152:32655] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server “/var/www/clients/client0/web4/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi--80-myabdllife.com" [Mon Dec 29 04:35:10.063692 2014] [fastcgi:error] [pid 21814] [client 178.62.80.152:35281] FastCGI: comm with server "/var/www/clients/client0/web4/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi--80-myabdllife.com” aborted: idle timeout (300 sec)

This error is usually the result of an improperly written CGI script that, as the error suggests, is not sending the proper headers. I ran into this error from my own CGI scripts until I added a “Content-type: text/html” header followed by a blank line before returning anything else. This assumes, of course, that what you’re returning is actually text/html. You may wish to do some further research on this topic to ensure that your script is correctly written for whatever it is you’re trying to do with it.
