I am running Centos 4 and want to run cgiemail in a directory under the web application. The setting of the "value" property in the <form> is tricky, but I have the web application running on other servers without a problem. On my server I get the error that it cannot find the file pointed to by the value in the <form>.
My question is whether or not I need to do something special like install an application on the server or do something special with permissions (the cgiemail is owned by apache and has 775 for permissions).
The web app is in the "interact" folder with the cgiemail in cgi-bin under it.
It all depends very much on how the web server is configured. Do you know if the web server is configured to run CGI programs? Do you have access to the Apache configuration files? (Actually, is the server running Apache?)
What value have you given the "action" attribute on the form element? You say that the CGI program is in the cgi-bin directory - was that directory there before, or did you create it yourself? Are there any other cgi-bin directories in the web area on the server?
Sorry for all the questions, but without answers to them any attempt to help would be purely guesswork.
