404 error in test only

I have a test web site that uses a different port for ssl than my production web site, both are on the same server. I have a simple form that has one input box for a user to enter their email address. When they submit their email address, it posts to itself and looks up their user id and password and then emails it to them. The pages are identical, but when I submit, I get an HTTP 404 - File not found error in my test web site. (The production web site works fine.) I did not write these pages, but I don't see anything tricky in them that could cause them to fail. I know the page is there, because I can open it to enter the email address. Any ideas where I should start?

Thanks,
Dave
 
You mention that this site uses SSL but you didn't say if the page in question does.

Is the URL a regular HTTP or is it HTTPS ?

You may have to append the abnormal port number to the url for the text box.
 
I found the problem. The stored proc that looks up the email address is missing from our test SQL server. (I wanted to only post the relevant code, so I commented out a big chunk to make sure it wasn't relevant and the page actually worked.)

Thanks for your time,
Dave
