Form Mail Help - 9/6/2001 20:24:00
Hi,
I need help with a mail form I formatted in cgi format and uploaded it to the cgi-bin but all my attempts to call for the form have failed. It was called an (htm) document when I uploaded it do I need to rename it and save it as (cgi)? Do I need to change permissions?
I'm receiving a 404 error when I href: server.cgi-bin/form
What am i doing wrong?

Is this a perl script that you're using? ... Matt's formmail.pl or another?Your form should not be in your cgi-bin ... it should be with your other html files. Just the script should be in the cgi-bin. The form's action tag should then point to the script in your cgi bin. The script will need the permissions set to 755 (chmod) using WS_FTP or some other ftp program ... or sometimes your host provides a panel for setting permissions. hth ginnie

Hi Ginnie,
Thanks for your reply. Well, I guess I should write newbie beside my name because you asked some questions that at this point I can't answer. I generated the form In Front Page, which I uploaded to cgi-bin.

Hi glendo,If your form was generated in FrontPage and you're using the FrontPage form handler (your host must have FrontPage extensions installed), then you just save your form as .html and set the form properties by right-clicking on the form, then click the "options" button and provide the email address you want the results sent to. If you want to save the results to a text file also, you can leave the default, which is _private/form_results.txt. Does that help? ginnie

Yes my server does have the extensions installed and I did enable the email save feature, but I'm still getting a doc not found error.

You're pointing to your C:\ drive.Change this: <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="C:\My Documents\Registration" S-Format="HTML/BR" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="skbi@manifestsog.org" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields --> to: <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.txt" S-Format="HTML/BR" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="skbi@manifestsog.org" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields --> A lot of people have this problem, but I'm not sure what you're doing that causes it. If you're creating your form within your local web (on your hard drive), I don't know why it's doing that, but I'm sure someone else here can tell you. hth ginnie
