Subject: [cobalt-users] error 405 when running TFmail.pl

For form processing I use a nifty little script called TFmail.cgi
(nms-cgi.sourceforge.net).

I have used this script successfully many times, but never on a RaQ.
When I try
to run this script on my RaQ 4i, after i submit the form, I get an HTTP
405 -
resource not allowed error. I know what this error means, but I dont
understand
the error in this context.

[note: i have run a simple "hello world" and another formmail script -
both of
which work fine. also, i have checked the obvious like path to perl and
permissions, and searched the archives, but still no clues.]

I have turned on debugging, and if I run the script in debug mode
(TFmail.cgid)
- the script completes to the "success" page output?!?

To see what I am talking about, you can go to:
[NOTE: site is name based but no DNS, so you must edit your HOSTS file
to
www1.orbusnet.com 67.112.49.235]

broken: www1.orbusnet.com/rusty_cgi.html

debug: www1.orbusnet.com/rusty_cgid.html

Any and all help is sincerely appreciated.

Somehow I don't think your web server (or anyone
else's) is going to execute a script with a .html
extention.

After you change the extention to whatever is correct
for your server (e.g. .cgi) make sure the permissions
are set to 755.
