This is very strange. If you look into archive of RT 3.8.1 then you'll
find webmux.pl there. So you missed some error/problem message during
installation of RT 3.8.

Also, don't copy anything from 3.6 into 3.8, you have archive of 3.8
for that, but you should not copy anything manually in regular
situation.

When you get internal server error then your next step should be
looking into apache error log. 500 itself is useless without info from
logs.
