RE: [vps-mail] Formmail Config 101...

OK, thanks for the advice and sorry but I've got to ask yet another
question.

 

If the form refers to the program in the website's cgi folder, what's the
purpose of the script alias?

Would changing the path for my ScriptAlias to match the current location of
the script file in the client cgi directory fix the problem or should I just
delete this all together?

 

Yes -- make a backup of the httpd.conf file and then edit the file to remove
the link to the server cgi-bin -- it should just be;

  ScriptAlias  /usr/local/etc/httpd/neem-cgi-bin/

 

 Then, run restart_apache and see what happens.   (The backup of the
httpd.conf file is just to protect you in case you mess up on the editing,
something I've done more than a few times -- so I always copy the httpd.conf
file to a file named httpd.conf.restore before making any edits to the main
file).
