Evening,

I'm a bit stuck creating an email form in CGI.
It's supposed to be using a standard HTML form but when tested comes uo with a 500 error.
My understanding is that it's something to do with the email template but any advice from someone who has done this please let me know.
I think I have the ACTION part of the form wrong, but I can't see how at the mo'

Many Thanks

500 error usually means you don't have permission to execute it. Try with your FTP, or SSH connection to give the CGI file (Perl, I'm assuming?) permissions 755. If you don't know how to do that, give us more details on FTP program, script, etc, etc.
