Re: [cobalt-users] FRUSTRATED WITH CGI

[Allan Liska <allan@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Randy,

First thing, you should be typing which perl, not which pearl.  The
location of perl (unless you have modfied it) is: /usr/bin/perl, so
the fist line should read: #!/usr/bin/perl

Also, make sure that you have the path to sendmail set correctly:
/usr/sbin/sendmail

Finally, I noticed you calling the script as /formmail.cgi -- is the
script in the same directory as the HTML form?  If so, there is no
need for the "/".

Hope these suggestions help...if you want to cut and paste your code,
we can take a look at it.
