When i access

http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/register.cgi

I get "Internal Server Error"

To debug, do 

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

On refreshing page, i got error 

Can't locate Geo/IP/PurePerl.pm in @INC

To fix, run 

yum -y install perl-CPAN
perl -MCPAN -e "install Geo::IP::PurePerl"

This fixed the error. No apache restart required.

This error fixed by installing geoip
