[Typo3-install] quickstart - 500 Server Error - Premature end of script headers

[Vincent]

Hi.

I am attempting to try typo3 for the first time.  My web hosting
service (which runs on Linux) has it available to install from
the cpanel, so the primary installation and mysql setup was
simple.

The root installation directory on my shared hosting account is

~/public_html/typo3.  

I can login to the admin area with the browser at

http://mysite.com/typo3/typo3

and, so far as I can tell, the basic installation is working ok.

cpanel also installed the dummy package at the root level.

Here is what the root installation directory, ~/public_html/typo3,
looks like.

However, I downloaded the quickstart package separately and am
trying to get it working to start learning it, but it does not
work.  I followed the instructions in the INSTALL.txt file and
unpacked it in

~/public_html/typo3

However, when I try to connect to it at 

http://mysite.com/typo3/quickstart

I get the error

500 Server Error

According to INSTALL.txt, after connecting to it I should

Follow the instructions in the 1-2-3 install tool

But I cannot get past the server error.

There is an error in the server log that says

Premature end of script headers: /home/myid/public_html/typo3/quickstart/index.php

which is kind of strange.  It sounds like a syntax error in the
actual php file.

I searched the mailing lists and found a couple of postings
mentioning this error but they just made vague comments about it
probably being a permission problem.

So far as I can tell, it does not look like a file permission
problem.  The permissions are the same in the quickstart
directory as in the root installation directory and the rest of
the installation seems to be working.

I suspected it might be an authentication issue with the mysql
DB.  The DB was setup by cpanel when I installed the main
package, before I unpacked the quickstart package.  I found a
mailing list posting that indicated that might be a problem.

I tried cutting and pasting the following entries (I don't
show the values here) from 

~/public_html/typo3/typo3conf/localconf.php
to
~/public_html/typo3/quickstart/typo3conf/localconf.php

$typo_db_username
$typo_db_password
$typo_db_host
$typo_db 
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE" ]["installToolPassword"]
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["SYS"]["sitename"           ]
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["SYS"]["encryptionKey"      ]
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE" ]["fileCreateMask"     ]
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["BE" ]["folderCreateMask"   ]

but I still get the same error.

Is there any way I can install the quickstart package to an
already working typo3 installation with the DB already setup?

Any help would be appreciated and provide you with good karma :-).
