Hii :

I am using FromMail.pl on one of my sites to recieve data filled out on a couple of forms.

I have configured it and when i try to test it, doesn't work.
I checked the errorlog file and this is what i see there :


[Sat Jun 8 09:41:36 2002] [error] [client ***.**.***.***] File does not exist: /home/testpage/public_html/500.shtml

[Sat Jun 8 09:41:36 2002] [error] [client ***.**.***.***] Premature end of script headers: /home/testpage/public_html/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl

I also write to the script owners, they did help me..and finally I got this diagnosis from them:


Last 300 Error Log messages in reverse order:
[Tue Jun 4 07:42:12 2002] [error] [client ***.**.***.***] File does not exist: /home/testpage/public_html/500.shtml

The above is down to a mis-configuration of the server and is not anything
to do with the NMS configuration - you can fix this by providing the file
/home/testpage/public_html/500.shtml

What do i do, and how exactly do i do it..do i have to ask my host for th 500.shtml page??

Thanks much for any help
:)

The 500.shtml page is just an error page (like 404. a page not found) that would have returned the error to your browser. Ignore it.
Premature end of script headers is usually a typo, or some other problem in the script, an address or path not right, a missing ";", or such - the script is not outputting the http headers the server expects. Check it over, test locally if you can, and try again.
