Can anyone suggest a way to troubleshoot formmail.
I have the @referrers and @recipients set correctly
I have the form pointing to the formmail program
When I click submit...It brings up 'page not found'
Is there a way to see what stage things go awry?
Thanks,
Rocky

If you're getting a page not found error then the problem probably isn't with your script, it's with your HTML. Your HTML isn't calling the script. Make sure your FORM is referencing the pathname to your script correctly, e.g. <FORM action="/cgi-bin/formail.pl" action=post>.

That's just an example -- I don't know where your particular formmail resides nor what its filename is.

It could be something else, too. A lot of formmail scripts will redirect the user to another web page after the form data is emailed. Perhaps the URL you are using in this redirection is wrong?

Ensure you use the full url of your thank you page.
