If you don't know, how can anyone on this list know?  If something went wrong 
with CHARMM-GUI, there would be a fatal error.  It's as simple as uploading the 
PDB file and letting CHARMM-GUI do the work; our latest version even writes all 
the GROMACS topologies and input files for you.  It will generate the correct 
dihedrals for heme groups.

Unless you can provide a specific issue (with GROMACS, because this is not the 
place for CHARMM-GUI problems), there's nothing anyone can do to help you.  We 
can't guess what the problem is, and in this instance, you haven't even said if 
there is a problem.
