Nikola T.Staff24th Oct 2021 (16:27)Hello there,

Thank you for contacting the FastComet Tech Support Team.

I have checked out the website and I can see that it's fully reachable
+ on my end, as can be seen below:

I can see that you're attempting to run a Perl script.

Please note that your service was migrated roughly 2 days ago to a new
+er, more updated environment. And the Perl version was updated FROM -
+ 5.10.1 - TO - 5.26.3 - within the new environment

I would advise you to ensure that your Perl script's syntax is accepta
+ble by Perl 5.26.3, once you've ensured this and IF the script is sti
+ll not operational, please provide us with the following information:

1. If you are able to provide us with a STEP by STEP guide on how to p
+roduce the issue on our end so that we can investigate further, that 
+would be fantastic. Please also include any login details (URL, usern
+ame/email, password), IF they are necessary for the troubleshooting p
+rocess.

2. If possible, attach screenshots to your replies as well, so that we
+ can see how the case appears on your end or/and provide us with any 
+error messages that you might be getting.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

We are here to support you 24/7

Kind Regards,

Nick
Technical Support Team

Ivan IvanovStaff24th Oct 2021 (23:44)Hello.

Thank you for reaching back to us.

If I have understood your query correctly, you experience ' Internal S
+erver Error ' when accessing the following files:

> http://blackjackstory.com/0end5.cgi
> http://blackjackstory.com/0end6.cgi

I fixed the files' permissions, as well as reviewed all of the server 
+logs, however, I was unable to locate any error messages listed.

That being said, the 500 internal server error is still encountered wh
+en accessing your pages.

However, in order to make sure that we are both referring the same iss
+ue, please confirm that you are indeed trying, but you are unable to 
+access the above pages.

In case I have misunderstood though, please accept my sincerest apolog
+ies and elaborate further, so we can assist you accordingly.

Once your request and end goal have been clarified, we will thoroughly
+ review your case and assist you further.

Thank you for your understanding on the matter.

We remain available and at your disposal.

Kind Regards,
Ivan I.
