Dreamhost, Django, Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi
This problem comes up from time to time on my Dreamhost account, I get a long page load, finally ending with a 500 error in the browser. Tail'ing the apache error_log shows:
... [Wed Oct 28 13:48:37 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:48:37 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:48:40 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:49:18 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:49:21 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:49:58 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi [Wed Oct 28 13:50:39 2009] [error] [client 198.53.10.99] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi ...
But where's the real error?
A little trick for you: go to the folder where your dispatch.fcgi file is and type:
./dispatch.fcgi
Basically you are executing the script, similar to an incoming request. You should then see the original traceback.
