Re: [cobalt-users] Perl and Cgi Wrapper

["abc-123.net" <abc-123@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While in telnet on the server, simply type

whereis perl

whereis sendmail

This will give you the correct location. I personally like Alien Script over formmail anyday.

Hi,

 

Just a few days ago, I installed FormMail on a RAQ2 and it have been functioning without any problems.

 

In my script the location of Perl is: "/usr/bin/perl" and sendmail ($mailprog in formmail) is in "/usr/lib/sendmail"

 

Could you tell me your formmail paths to perl and sendmail?

Hoping that someone can point out an error to me, which is probably obvious by anybody elses standards!

 

I have brought a lot of scripts over to a RAQ2 from a traditional UNIX box such as formail etc (no frill there!) and have found an isssue with the cgi wrapper.

 

I am simply unable to run formmail using trad perl, howevere a compiled script such as Free Chat works just fine..  The error message is "no such file found" error on line 2 "owner needs to check the #! line for correctness"

 

This is weird as perl is in the crrect place ect, do our boxes have a special sendmail?? 

 

Help?
