Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Your instructions, while certainly concise, just aren't registering with me. THe problem is compounded by the fact that my hosting company says the following:
QUOTE: Register.com does not provide custom code nor provide support for custom code. Having said that, we do have some information to help you get your forms up and running. If you run into troubles getting these scripts configured you will need to consult the documentation provided for the scripts as we do not provide custom coding support. All the information we can provide is included in this email.
This will help you to get your email script working, simply follow these steps:
-- 1. Download a pre-made form mail script.
You can find these easily by searching google for "formmail script". One we have found is www.form2email.net/ which I've been told is one of the easier ones to use. They usually come with limited support from the programmer as well as readme files you can consult for help.
-- 2. Customize the script with the proper settings. --
Unfortunately this part we cannot help you with for legal reasons. We're not allowed to assist with custom programming and coding. If you run into problems you'll have to either contact a web developer for advice, or the web site that you received the script from for support.
Here are some things you'll have to change in the script for it to work on our server.
{
- Sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail -i-t
- Perl Path: /usr/bin/perl
}
You will also have to modify your form page to point to your script. You will have to modify the "action" or where the form points, to the script.
Your script, once uploaded, will be located at "http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl". You would replace "script.pl" with the actual file name of the script.
-- 3. Upload the script. --
For this you will need an FTP program. Some popular ones are as follows:
{
- CuteFTP
- SmartFTP
- FileZilla
- Fetch (Mac users)
}
You would upload the script into your "cgi-bin" folder using "ASCII" or "Text" mode. We can help walk you through this if you run into problems.
-- 4. Set the permissions. --
For your script to operate properly you want the visitor to your site to be able to execute the script, but you don't want them to have the right to overwrite the file. For most scripts you want permissions to be set for rwxr-xr-x(755). You can read/write/execute, but the visitor can only execute.
You can set the permissions through your FTP program, or through FileManager. We can help you with this as well. QUOTE
