    wrote Palm Query Application: webserver behind Linksys won't respond

    I wrote a simple Palm Query Application (PQA) for the Palm VIIx wireless PDA. It's basically an HTML file local to the PDA that, upon a form submission on the PDA, it makes an HTTP request to a webserver I point to. It is actually pointing to a .cfm file querying (ODBC) a database on the webserver and spits it back to the PDA.

    Now I have done this successfully on a webserver here at work. I can't seem to get my own webserver at home to return a response though (same ODBC connection setup at home). It says INTERNAL SERVER ERROR (500). All normal web browser requests to that server at home works fine at the same moment. Now the only difference between the work setup and the home setup for this PQA is that I'm behind a Linksys Router/firewall at home. I do have the webserver port there forwarded (using 8081 instead of 80). Again, normal webtraffic works fine, just not a request from my Palm Device.

    Is there something else I should be doing or another port I should be forwarding?

    Thanks in advance.

    Are all permissions set correctly on the cfm file? You said http requests are working correctly from other machines but you didn't mention if they can use that same cfm file to make a query.

    Yup, I can execute the .cfm file fine from the web. Not using NTFS so I guess it's 1 less thing to worry about.
