Problem running web server through perl script

I am starting a web server(Cassini) on a remote machine through a perl script from my local machine. I am also specifying the virtual path, root directory settings, etc.

However, I am not able to request files from the server as its giving me

System.Net.WebException : The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Er开发者_高级运维ror.

However, when I do request files by starting the server directly from the remote machine itself, it works fine.

Any reason for this behavior?

I would guess that the web server is not being started from your script.

Edit

Have you doubled checked all the settings to make sure you didn't miss one?
