Hi all, just signed up to add my two cents for two days of work. I run a plesk server and finally got a copy of fileman installed. Sadly, nothing I read had any fix for the "Premature end of script header" problem. This may work on other servers, not sure, but I know it works on Plesk, tried it over and over with no problem.

This is a secure RedHat 7.3 Plesk test server, so I used WinSCP to upload everything. Then used Putty for command line stuff.

1. Upload install.cgi in text/ascii mode

2. Upload install.dat in binary mode

3. pico install.cgi and change the header so it reads:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

4. I used WinSCP to change the Group to "psacln" and the owner to the site owner. Root ownership for anything will cause it to not work. Appears to be a RedHat/Apache thing, I could be wrong, but thats the jist of it. --This was the important step--

5. chmod 755 install.cgi (command line or WinSCP)

6. www.domain.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi

7. change the image directory to:

/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/fileman/images
(I put them in its own directory as to not mix them up with website images and files) If you dont move them out of the cgi-bin, they won't load.

8. Change the image url to domain.com/fileman/images

For some reason, it wont let you set the root to the root of the domain directory, so I leave it as cgi-bin so it installs.

9. Then I go in through putty and edit the ConfigData.pm root_url and root_dir to:

'root_url' => 'http://www.domain.com',

'root_dir' => '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.com',

after that, log in and have fun!

Hope that works for us plesk users, let me know if it works that way for anything else. Enjoy!

That will need to be #!/usr/bin/perl

It's to do with SuEXEC...files must be owned correctly otherwise you will get an internal server error.

Ok, thanks, I fixed the main post.

Ok, makes sense. I was never fully informed of the SuEXEC stuff. I just looked at some of the working files and found that group name was being used, so I changed it on the install file and it started working. Thanks for the clarification. I had just gotten frustrated by not finding any working documentation in the forums, they all kept saying the same thing over and over. So once I finally got it figured out I posted for future reference. :)
