    my fmail.pl form mail command does not work on my server but it does on my works server. therefore everytime i need a form it results in me creating an iframe and hosting it on my works server..this tends to be a huge pain in the butt!

    now it is the exact same file and I have made the permissions 755..

    where should it be located on my work server its on the domain root /www/cgi-bin/

    but on my server /www/ is the same as /public_html/ where all the normal files go... there is a /bin/ though at the root of the domain hosting.

    here is the file and location: http://offcitygraphics.com/cgi-bin/fmail.pl

    what should I do? its a CPanel hosting hosted by surpasshosting.com

    here is an example form to test: http://offcitygraphics.com/chainedrelations/chainedcontact.html


    please help me out!! if this doesnt go under programming...mods please just move...thanks

    That /bin/ is for binary files, aka system files. Have you checked where perl is located? What error message do you get? HTML File looks ok.
