the CGI program /export/home1/netscape/suitespot/cgi-bin/counter.pl did not produce a valid header (program terminated without a valid CGI header. Check for core dump or other abnormal termination)

I don't know what to do???

The header problem is often caused by wrong script output. A correct header would be something like: &quot;Content-type:text/plain\n\n&quot; or if your counter is based on images &quot;Content-type: image/<whatever>\n\n&quot;.
The newlines are mandatory.
If you can not fix the problem that way, call your cgi-script and do a `tail -f ` on your htttpd.error_log.

Good luck! regards
