Re: [cobalt-users] Form mail and cgi RAQ3

["David Thacker" <Cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

Yes, a simple question with a simple answer.

1. Edit formmail.pl to set the path to sendmail as /usr/sbin/sendmail (which
differs from the default of /usr/bin/sendmail).
2. Upload formmail.pl to whatever web directory you want.  You do not need to
put CGIs or Perl scripts in a cgi-bin on the RaQ.
3. CHMOD 755 formmail.pl to make it executable.  Do this via Telnet or via
most FTP programs.

That's it!

I use the stock FormMail.pl from Matt's Script Archive, but there are many
other derivations around.  Remember that by filenames are case sensitive by
default, so if your script is FormMail.pl then you have to call it from your
html file via FormMail.pl not formmail.pl.

Please do not post to the list using html mail...it hoses the digests among
other things.

Subject: [cobalt-users] Form mail and cgi RAQ3


We have a new Raq3. We have been searching everywhere for a pretty simple (we
think) question, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
We have a form or two that a customer fills out on line and need the results
emailed. How does the Raq3 use cgi and form mail? How would we configure our
raq3 or cgi scripts?

Thanks again!

Frank
