HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error

[bheeshmaraja]

Hi I'm a Perl developer working in Wipro Tech. I have a CGI script where the users raise a request for package deployment. I'm facing a different problem which has not been resolved for more than a month now. I'm using Perl 5 running in Solaris 5.10 using Sybase DB in backend. The Problem is:
I have a field called "Comments" in a file called new_sw_request. This comments has "Text" Column type in Syb DB. As per Sybase Doc we can insert more than 2000 characters in Text data column. But here I could not insert more than 740 characters in Comment field. If I insert more than 740 characters I'm getting the following error:
[07/Sep/2011:08:36:05] failure (13678): for host 163.37.236.135 trying to GET /cgi-bin/new_sw_request.cgi, cgi_start_output reports: HTTP4068: cannot execute CGI script /web/cgi-bin/new_sw_request.cgi (Request pipe I/O failed [Resource temporarily unavailable]), chroot=<none>, dir=<none>, user=<none>, group=<none>

Also this is happening only If I try this through IE. If I try it in Firefox this is working fine. I'm able to insert 1000 characters length Comments in DB. It is working fine in Google Chrome browser. But it is not working in IE. In IeHTTPHeader I'm getting HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error. Please help me to resolve this problem.

If I give less than 740 characters in Comments field and try to insert through IE it is working fine. If it goes beyond 740 then only it is not working in IE. So I believe there is no problem in the script, because it is working fine in other browsers as well as in IE(for 740 characters).

Please let me know in which are all the situation we will get HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error? How to rectify HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error?

Thanks in Advance.
