I have just installed the FormMail Version 3.11c1 from  http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/ which was recommended to me by Lunarpages after having spam / virus problems with my original formmail script. I think I have configured everything correctly, however I am getting a 403 "Forbidden" error:-
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/FormMail.pl on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request"

when testing from a form located at http://www.accom.com.au/salesenquiry.html.

As far as I can tell, everything is configured correctly, and I have set permissions to 755.

The script is configured as follows:-

Thank you for your form submission.

END_OF_CONFIRMATION

Does anyone have an idea of why it isn't working? Would appreciate your urgent help and assistance, as I am not sure what I need to do next to make this work!

Thanks
Matt.

Thanks Mate! Changed the file name and it works fine now...

Regards,
Matt.

PS - How's the study going?

... let just say Math isn't my strong area or more accurately of no interest to me - so I've got 5 math courses, and that its.. so ya.. not so fun

Did it get uploaded as an ASCII file?

Couple things to check that are dependant on your server.

In CPanel's main page bottom left of the left column you will see a list of paths to perl sendmail etc. Make sure that the code your uploading contains the correct paths to perl and sendmail etc (it may be slightly different depending on your server).

- Ed

The perl path is correct, though it has a switch I'm not familiar with (-wT?)
And I've double checked the sendmail path, it's also right.

Anybody got the name of a decent php mailing script?

Any other good mail scripts out there?  Preferably, easy to set up?

Thanks, that one is actually working.

Wow.

Seeing that he installed it and got it working in approx. 15 minutes, should give you a hint.  



LOL!  That's great, Ed, but please do hurry up, because then you can be the "Guru" of the mail form threads and answer ALL of them, and then we can sit back and relax and not worry about those anymore!    

And look, this is just a one pager!  The one's I assist with turn out to be 10 pages or more!  LOL!
