Form Mail Cgi Scripts

[Guest ThinkDigitally]

Ok, i am trying desperately to get this form mail to work. I got it from Matt's script archive, and configured the formmail.pl exactly how the instructions said to, with one exception, this line:

 

$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -t';

 

Im not sure what this host's sendmail server is, so i left it at that.

 

Ive made a contact page on my website : http://www.thinkdigitally.com/contact.html

 

but when i try to use it, i get this:

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

 

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@thinkdigitally.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Additionally, I checked my error logs, which i cant understand, (i know, im an indiot) so i'll post the part of the log here:

Can anyone help me get this working?

 

All i want is a contact page that someone can enter in thier Name, Email, Phone, and a comment; and i want it to send that info to my email address.

This script (Matt's FormMail) has serious security flaws is not allowed on any TCH servers.

 

I will get Head Guru to confirm this. As for an alternative, review these:
