Actually I think that might be good news, depending on what your system 
log reports. Take a look in there. The "end of headers" thing is almost 
always a problem with your script, not the installation.

One main thing that goes wrong when moving scripts from an OS X box to a 
Unix box is that you may not have converted the line endings to Unix. 
Use BBEdit to do that before you upload the script file.

Check permissions, too.
