Internal Server Error 500 – Error of FastCGI: comm with server

I think I made it very difficult to understand. I will re-write my problem.

The problem is that my site is showing “Internal Server Error 500”

Like this:-

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

When I went to the logs, there is only one error that is shown all around. It is regarding FastCGI and it says that there is an error in parsing headers (malperformed headers)

The error is :-

[Wed Jun 17 11:36:28 2009] [error] [client 119.152.24.177] FastCGI: comm with server “/home/httpd/vhosts/default/fcgi-bin/php5fcgi” aborted: error parsing headers: malformed header ‘HTTP/1.1 302 Found’, referer: https://www.ewp.eu/wp-login.php

Just for the Information, this is my htaccess file :-

AddType application/x-httpd-fastphp5 .php
Action application/x-httpd-fastphp5 /fcgi-bin/php5fcgi
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
Action application/x-httpd-php5 /fcgi-bin/php5fcgi

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I will be very thankful for any help.
