Formmail.cgi experts

[Jean]

I am treading dangerously into new territory here. I have created a Submission Form on www.petmag.co.uk, but cannot get it to work.

Below is the section on the formmail.cgi that I have changed and the corresponding html in the file. Can anyone see were I have gone wrong. I am trying to achieve a redirect to the home page once the submit button has been pressed. At the moment I am not even getting the emails.

$DEBUGGING = 1;
$emulate_matts_code= 0;
$secure = 1;
$allow_empty_ref = 1;
$max_recipients = 1;
$mailprog = 'SMTP:mailhost.petmag.co.uk';
$postmaster = 'admin@jegranet.com';
@referers = qw(petmag.co.uk 85.234.132.66 localhost);
@allow_mail_to = qw(admin@petmag.co.uklocalhost);
@recipients = ();
%recipient_alias = ();
@valid_ENV = qw(REMOTE_HOST REMOTE_ADDR REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT);
$locale = '';
$charset = 'iso-8859-1';
$date_fmt = '%A, %B %d, %Y at %H:%M:%S';
$style = '/styles/style.css';
$no_content = 0;
$double_spacing = 1;
$wrap_text = 0;
$wrap_style = 1;
$address_style = 0;
$send_confirmation_mail = 0;
$confirmation_text = <<'END_OF_CONFIRMATION';

Thank you for your directory submission.

<form name="SubmissionForm" method="post" action="http://www.petmag.co.uk/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="feedback@petmag.co.uk"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.petmag.co.uk/index.html" />

Hope someone can help. I am having a real blonde senile day today.

Made the change, but still not working. After pressing the submit button it goes to the cgi-bin/formmail.cgi page.

[futureweb]

do you have you perl path in there anywhere ? #!/usr/bin/perl


What flavour hosting do you have ? Windows / *Nix

Which other scripts does your server support asp, php

this '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t'; should be '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t'; * sorry

[Jean]

Unfortunately I can't answer those questions. I don't have the technical knowledge. I have written to David (Host) to check if the permissions have been set ok, and changed the '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t'; bit, but that didn't work either. When David comes back to me I will ask him the other questions.

I believe it was David that told me to set the above code to the smpt one, rather than either of those two.

basic example:

Thank you for your help. Form now working. Apparently it needed the changes you advised plus the permissions on the server setting to 755, which my host has done.
