    i am testing my new site, but i am having a slight problem with the conatct form. I am using scripts which were supplied by my server provider.

    When i click on the submit button, it just links to a different URL and dosnt submit the request.

    Can anyone pick out the problem.

    looks like the formmail script isn't at:
    http://www.waterfordtaxis.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl

    As you're on a Linux server you shouldn't have any problems dropping in your own script if Alabanza's doesn't work

    OK, your button links to www.waterfordtaxis.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl - first and foremost, you need to make sure this file exists, and your provider allows perl scripts. Seeing as they supplied the script, they probably do. It may just be a case of pointing at the wrong place. Maybe it's cgi-bin instead of cgi-sys, or you or your hosting co. might not have placed the file formmail.pl into directory. From the error you get, it just seems that there's something missing in the link. Maybe it's under another subdirectory link /cgi-sys/mailer/formmail.pl
