It's time for go through the steps I outline to debug a CGI script. Sometimes these sorts of problems come up because the SSL server is set up slightly differently from the non-SSL one. Sometimes this is intentional, and sometimes it isn't. I always expect my script first though. -- brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org>	[reply]

A 500 http status code just means that a mysterious something has gone wrong. The first place to look is the error log your webserver keeps. That should give you some idea as to where to look next.	[reply]

Apache. I am not sure what version. Plain .html files work fine. Don't know if the rights are the same.	[reply]

Well i'm not sure if this will help but the SSL default port is 443, did you try http://mydomain.com:443/dir/perl.pl? UPDATE: I lied. that's the SSH default port. Downvote as needed :-( UPDATE²: Just so no one gets screwed up, The Mad Hatter is correct. Pay no mind to the above babble about ports. meh.	[reply]

http://mydomain.com:443 would just address a http server running on port 443 since to protocol is http; vice versa, a https server running on port 80 would be called as https://mydomain.com:80	[reply]

No, port 443 is the default SSL port; you were right. The default SSH port is 22.	[reply]
