I've gotten all those and it still plays around on me(the sendmail thing was
from looking at it too long, shud have been /usr/lib/sendmail -t)

I've put in the propper paths and files for the text files but still no luck

Nothing to do with permissions :-)

<snipped to only show relevant bits>

You need to fix the following paths since they're incorrect for a RaQ:

> $form_info_path =
"/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/demos/feedback_archive.txt";
> $email_datafile_path =
> "/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/demos/feedback_emails.txt";
> $feedback_response_path =
> "/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/demos/feedback_response.txt";

But the killer is probably this:

> #Path to sendmail
> $mailprog = "/lib/sendmail -t";

sendmail isn't there unless you have created a symbolic link. It's usually
in:

/usr/sbin/sendmail
