[cobalt-users] FormMail Error



This is probably a very stupid question but I cannot get FormMail Version
1.9s-p7  to work on my server.
This is what I have done:

Configured the FormMail parameter.
Renamed the file to MatrixMail.pl
Created a directory in /home/ folder called matrix-cgi
So the script location is      /home/matrix-cgi/MatrixMail.pl
CHMOD the directory and file as 755
Edited the srm.conf file at the bottom with an alias as follows:
#MatrixMail setup
ScriptAlias /matrix-cgi/ /home/matrix-cgi/

(also tried just Alias and with/without the end /)

Restarted the web server /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart   each time

Set the feedback for to:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/matrix-cgi/MatrixMail.pl">

Also tried:

FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="http://www.onlinevillas.info/matrix-cgi/MatrixMail.pl";>

But I always get an error that there has been an internal error or
mis-configuration.

If I put the script in the web directory and do not use ScriptAlias then is
works perfectly so I am fairly sure that the Script itself is OK is must
just be the Alias part of the way I am calling the script in the web page.

What I wanted to do was to put the script into a folder that everyone can
use (I know that I will have to keep adding everyones email address into the
script when they wanyt to use it - security) that is fully secure and no
clinet can actually get access to it.

This is all on a RAQ 4

Any comments and help would be greatly appreciated - I suppose its going to
be something very silly that I have done

Also just out of interest on the bottom of the email from the form we get
the following - not sure what it is:

activepage: sdredirect
m: quec9id6
p: oi

Thanks in advance
