Re^2: weird 500 Error after system reboot

Thanks for your response. I'm not the sysadmin type, so I don't really know about the httpd daemons, but there's none running now, and I was told that there weren't any running before the reboot either. I cannot know for sure if that was true.

I've been able to reproduce the error on the command line:

/qhds/bin/perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint('http://www.yahoo.com')"

My sisadmin says he's never seen this error before either. We duplicated this problem on another box, so it might be something to do with our network. So now, I can't connect to the internet with LWP at all:(.

Okay, check for firewall rules if you're a gateway or at your gateway/router. Can you do ping, traceroute, ftp, etc.? You didn't make it clear where the system was that you were trying to connect to, but slurping yahoo is probably not a good idea. I know they've blocked several UN!X services because of traffic issues. Try another simpler site before you assume that it's a problem.	[reply]

Mysteriously, the problem has resolved itself after a week. No one knows how or why, including the sysadmin and the network people. And we cannot reproduce the problem. Oh well. All's well that end's well... I hope.	[reply]
