My CGI app can not write or create file in cgi-bin directory

Hi

I made app which creates file in cgi-bin and writes data to it.
If I run this cgi app manually from command line everything is OK.
If I execute it from webbrowser I get "Internal server error"

How to configure apache to allow CGI to write files?

error_log says only this about my script:

Premature end of script headers: test.cgi

I only have to write data to file. It does not matter where is it. Where I
should place this file to be safe? Is this location will be allowed by
apache to write file?

Thanks for help. I fixed this. The data file was created manually as root
(touch command) and did not have access rights for everybody.
