This error has several causes all of them related to a CGI or PHP
program not generating correct headers (Content-type:, etc.)

1. The program dumped core or aborted before generating any output.
2. The program could not be executed due to incorrect permissions
(either Apache or OS) or missing shared libraries.
3. The program generated error messages *BEFORE* the Content-type
header about things like missing include files or libraries,
or debugging code is misplaced.
4. The program forgot to output the Content-type header or the blank
line separating the headers from the content.

This error message suggests that something is trying to output
content without headers.
