Re: Formmail problem

Hi again,
        I've been following the instructions for setting up the Formmail
Perl script from Matt's Script Archive. Basically, the only settings for
the form are where Sendmail is & according to the WebTen docs, that is as
in the script:
/usr/bin/sendmail
        The other thing is to set the Referrer field to the domain name &
IP Address you want to allow to use the script. I then set the Permissions
of the script to chmod 755 as I did for WWWBoard, but the script returns an
Internal Server 500 Error. Can anyone enlighten me as to where I've gone
wrong?

I vaguely remember this...

Do you by chance use the dual stack configuration, with only one physical ethernet connection, and the form wants to talk to the mail server on the different IP number, but on the same connector? So you need to either change the settings so that formmail goes OUT of the physical machine to the gateway and THEN back to your machine again. I once got directions from Tenon support how to do this, but I couldn't make it work. So my decision was to add an ethernet card and use two physical connections. No problem since then.

I am sure you looked at the WebTen Error-log. What did it say?

Best wishes, Christian.
