I downloaded this formmail script and I'm having trouble configuring it.
I don't have a sendmail application installed on the server, but the Readme says I can configure it for SMTP use, and that's how I'm trying to use it.
The files mirror the hierarchy shown in the Examples.txt: main pearl script in the cgi-bin folder, other files in a supporting directory called tfmail.
The form I created using Dreamweaver is pointed to the correct file, method: post, enctype: text/plain.
When I try to submit the form, I get this response from the browser:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Here is what the server error log shows for the same event:
[2008-10-22 06:31:46]: error: file has no execute permission: (/home/public_html/cgi-bin/TFmail.pl)
I looked into this issues specifically and made the suggested changes:
I've been troubleshooting this for over two weeks and I'm really hoping you guys can help! I could pay the host company $50 to install it, but I'm still not convinced it isn't a problem with their default settings or security settings.
Thank you,
Sean

I looked into this issues specifically and made the suggested changes:
- 755 Permissions on the cgi-bin folder
- 755 Permissions on the .htaccess file
- 755 permission on the tfmail folder which contains supporting files and formatted templates for output
