[Koha] Help please

[Stephon E. McCray]

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled KOHA with MYSQL 4.1 over again and 
I still get an error message when I try to access 'OPAC'. It says "Premature 
end of  script headers: opac-main.pl"

Can You please help?

Stephon

>>> * Upgrade all client programs to use a 4.1.1 or newer client library.
>>> * When connecting to the server with a pre-4.1 client program, use an
>>>account that still has a pre-4.1-style password.
>>> * Reset the password to pre-4.1 style for each user that needs to use
>>>a pre-4.1 client program. This can be done using the SET PASSWORD

>>>
>>>mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR

>>>
>>> Alternatively, use UPDATE and FLUSH PRIVILEGES:
>>>
>>>mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')
>>> -> WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
>>>mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
>>>
>>> Substitute the password you want to use for "newpwd" in the

>>>was, so you'll need to pick a new one.
>>> * Tell the server to use the older password hashing algorithm:
>>> 1. Start mysqld with the --old-passwords option.
>>> 2. Assign an old-format password to each account that has had its
>>>password updated to the longer 4.1 format. You can identify these
>>>accounts with the following query:
>>>
>>>mysql> SELECT Host, User, Password FROM mysql.user
>>> -> WHERE LENGTH(Password) > 16;
>>>
>>> For each account record displayed by the query, use the Host
>>>and User values and assign a password using the OLD_PASSWORD()
>>>function and either SET PASSWORD or UPDATE, as described
>>>earlier."
