Do you get any error information? Or is it just an Internal Server Error 
500 page you get when you try and access it via a CGI?

It could be that the JaguarPC installation doesn't have all the 
dependencies needed by the server engine. You can find out if this is 
the problem if you have SSH access by doing:

   ldd <server engine exe>

This should tell you whether the dependencies on the system are 
compatible with the LiveCode Server engine - 'ldd' checks that the 
system has all the dynamic libraries installed which an executable 
implicitly requires to run.

If all of them seem to be in order, then you can try running the engine 
from the command-line - if it runs from the command-line, then that 
suggests it is something to do with the setup of the web-server / CGI 
rather than the engine.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
