It's not clear at what point you go SSL... Is the form which executes
the CGI served on plain HTTP and the CGI script in an SSL virtual host?
If so, and if you use the POST method, there might be a problem with the
packet containing the POST data not surviving the SSL negotiation stage.
You could try making sure the form is also in the SSL site (so that the
negotiation is complete by the time you submit the form) or you could
try using the GET method (so that the CGI parameters are sent with the
request).

Then you are ideally placed to investigate what it is the difference
between the two machines. Identify all the differences, then apply them,
one-at-a-time to the faulty set-up until it starts to work.
