malformed header means your script printed something, but it wasn't the http header required. Look at some CGI FAQs for the necessary header. Look at this script for example: #!/bin/sh echo Content-type: text/html echo echo echo "<html>" echo "<body>" echo Hi echo "</body>" echo "</html>" note the line "echo Content-type: text/html" your server didn't get this line from some reason. A possible reason is, the script wasn't executed. (so the OS prints a "bad command" string instead of the expected "content-type...")
