I have been getting intermittent "Error 500" errors when viewing the
Critical Systems page.  This is the familiar "Internal Server Error"-type of
message.  I haven't yet been able to find a pattern of when I get the
errors, but most of the time, it works just fine.  The only thing I have
been able to find in the apache log messages is:

[Mon Jun 11 23:14:29 2007] [error] [client 172.21.3.118] Premature end of
script headers: hobbit-nkview.sh, referer: http://hobbit.cuc.net/

I was having this problem before, but was running a non-patched
4.2.0version, which was upgraded from an earlier version.  I have
since moved to
a brand new server, with a fresh compile/install of 4.2.0 with the latest
allinone patch.  The OS is Red Hat EL4 Update 5.

Is there any way that I can get more detailed logging as to what exactly the
problem is?

You might want to try "setenforce 0" and see if that lets it work. I have
this
exact problem. I need to figure out how to label the hobbit files to make
things work, with selinux in enforcing mode. It is on my "round tuit"
list.

Has anyone figured out how to make hobbit work with selinux enabled? If so
a
pointer to a doc would be appreciated.

Did you look in /var/log/messages or in /var/log/hobbit/*?

We don't use selinux here, and have run into problems with it before, so
when I did the install of the OS, I specifically disabled it.  I checked
with the setenforce command, and it does indeed say selinux is disabled.

Yep.  Nada.  Or at least, not anything related to the Error 500 issue.  But
at least I now know I'm not the only one with this problem.
