Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Formmail gives server 500 error

I'm trying to complete a new website with a Submit button on my Contacts.htm page and have struggled for two days trying to make the formmail.cgi or formmail.pl work.

The caveat for my troubles is my Apache2 web server is running on Novell NetWare 6.5. But I have perl available and cgi-bin too.

Is anyone out there know why when I click "submit" it immediately throws a Server Error with a code a 500? I've check permissions via the bash prompt (a NetWare NLM) using ls-l on my two files (either formmail.cgi or formmail.pl) and both show "effectively" 777. I realize the instructions call for 755 and I will fix that once I can get the submit button to work...

I'd really like this to work...can someone help?

Thanks,

Scott Kunau

I'll move this to a proper Forum, as it is not a javascript problem...

Thank you for moving the thread. Since I'm trying to go live with the site today, I removed all of the form content for now, leaving just address info and email address. If I (with help here) can get the formmail.cgi working on NetWare 6.5-based Apache2 web server, then I am anxious to put the form content back in and revise the page.

Did you upload the script in ascii (text) format (instead of binary)?
