perl unix cgi error

[luca2]

Does anyone know what might be the problem here?

malformed header from script. Bad header=Recipient names must be specif: /member2/cgi-bin/form.cgi

tricky to answer without knowing your script and how you call (start) it.

hmm, you should doublecheck, if you set your email-adress properly.

example:

print MAIL "To: arno\@kersche.net (Arno Kersche)\n";
print MAIL "From: arno\@kersche.net (Arno Kersche)\n";


print MAIL "Subject: Test\n";

print MAIL "thats my body\n";

Thank you, it was not the problem though.

Could you post the script, or a URL to it, or give more details on what it is and what it does, what you think could have caused the error etc. Can't help without details :)

well, im familiar with formmail, and it shouldn't give any errors so long as it is uploaded correctly, chmod, proper path to perl etc. And i also don't see any problems in your html code.

I noticed you changed some things in the formmail script for language purposes, could you have accidentally replaced something, or overwritten something? Thats the only thing I can think of that might be the problem.

Thanks,

I started all over and it worked.

I quess that's a good tip to those with cgi problems.
