Re: [vps-mail] Possible FormMail Issue

[Abigail Marshall <abigailrm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Start by looking at the error log -- that often will give a clue.   If it
doesn't make sense to you, post whatever the output is here.  It could be a
lot of different things, and without access to your server or your script,
it's hard to guess.

You can start by checking permissions on the script, however -- that's
basically the most common reason a newly created script won't work.  Set
them temporarily to 777 for testing, and then if it solves the problem, you
can experiment by tightening them up.  (You don't want to leave it at 777
because that's a security risk, but if you test at that level and things
still don't work, you'll at least know that it is not a permissions problem)
