Fast Form

[bruce]

I don't think you can get this form script to work on our server. All these settings are pertainent to UNIX environment.

If you are looking for a formmail script, try http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/

I am using the Fast Form 1.50 software to create form mail and I need your help to make the following changes to make it work with the discountasp.net HOSTING</o:p>
</o:p>
Perl Setup

Perl Path = #!/usr/bin/perl
Sendmail Path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
cgi-bin directory = cgi-bin

Kindly please make possible changes to have the correct seting.[b][b]</o:p>
Thank you;

Perl will work, and I believe that Perl path should be fine, but I don't believe sendmail will work.

Perl is already running on our servers.

http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/nono.gifWould you please tel me the location of Perl 5 on your server
like
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

[bruce]

This line

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

is meaningless in Windows environment.

In windows world, the IIS server is configured to execute all .pl script with the perl interpretor. The line is only read by UNIX Apache server.

http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/jumpin.gifDear Bruce
Please if you can halp me what to write in the Sendmail Path = ?
every time I am asking for help I geta web link only WHAT A HELP
I will be glad if you can do and give me the answer to use my form to send it by mail.

Thank you very much, I am looking forward to hear from you.

Well... there is no sendmail path because Sendmail is not installed on windows server.

We do have the Mail::Sendmail Module installed (which is different from sendmail program).

See http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10346 for more detail.

To be honest, most Perl scripts are designed to run on UNIX/Apache environment and getting it to run on windows will definitely need some modification.

I believe the perl parser ignores that path since all .pl files are sent to the perl parser. You should be able to use the path you have shown.
