Re(2): [cobalt-users] CGI Madness



Stroebel and List folks:

I fixed the problem. Thought you might want to know what seemed to be wrong.

I have TWO Email addresses on the "RECIPIENT" line, so that I can receive a copy of the posts that the client receives. On the CGPA (Contact.html) file, the client's Email address is nice and short. However, on the Barnett file it's a bit longer. Also on the Barnett virtual, I set up the "user" Email so that the client can receive Email at "steve" and also a catch-all ("@www.barnettgroupinc.com") address. However, the HTML page references an Email address of "info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" that wasn't specifically listed on the Raq3 as an address.

I'd like to reiterate that both CGPA and Barnett sites used the SAME CGI script, setup the exact same way. (permissions, etc.). CGPA's worked. Barnett's didn't (completely). The length of the "recipient" line for Email addresses shouldn't have mattered. Nor should the fact that I didn't specifically have "info" listed as a user Email address - the catch-all address should have been sufficient to process the Email. In fact, it DID process it - it just threw a "Internal Server Error" (no number) message.

	Changing both of these things solved the problem. Go figure.    : /

         I received an Email (with form data) From:
 test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I assume that this was your post.

yes.

i sent a test mail using that site, output works. (see below)

 ******* AND

        <FORM NAME="The Barnett Group, Inc. Contact form"

 > VALUE="info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">

 Overall, I still can't figure out what is wrong with the Barnett
 script that is not present (or wrong) with the CGPA script and files.
         Thanks for your help - present and future.

i have no idea. as the mail is being sent, it seems to be something
wrong with a routine that produces output or other action after sending,
e.g. reading in a template for displaying a html page that informs that
the mail has been sent. check that routines.

where did you get that script ? the url mentioned (cgibuilder.com) is
not existant...
