I am trying to install a freeware copy of the latest version of UBB on a new server before transferring my current ubb.

The entire site, including the main docs directory and the cgi-bin, are using a secure server certificate from thawte, so that the correct URL to the cgi-bin is as follow:
https://bullet.lanminds.com:8887/cgi-bin/

When I uploaded the files and set permissions to the new server, I then tried to link from https://bullet.lanminds.com:8887/ubb/cp.html to the general settings page.

I was not able to do so - I got a blank page followed by a window, "a connection failure has occurred."

I checked the permissions and the path to perl. Might there be a problem with the secure server certificate?

Thanks for any help.
