RE: Premature end of script headers: AGAIN???

["Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>     ******

Here is the section from the Minivend FAQ about the error you got:

*******
Document contains no data or premature end of script headers (especially
on BSDI or FreeBSD)

This usually means that your HTTP server ran out of resources during the
execution of the link program. It couldn't create more sockets, is unable
to create a process, or can't open any more files.
This happens especially in frames catalogs, when MiniVend is sending more
than one page simultaneously. And even more especially on FreeBSD and
BSDI, which are distributed with the kernel parameters SOMAXCONN and
CHILD_MAX set to levels unsuitable for serving the web.
Go to
            http://www.dejanews.com
and try searching on CHILD_MAX -- this should give you plenty of pointers
on how to set those parameters properly.
