I did not understand what Suresh meant when he said that formmail.pl was a highly insecure piece of junk .It is a different matter , that I felt hurt (because I was its designer ... it was supposed to bundle together the contents of the Html form and Mail it off to me) .
In the mean time , our Vitual Host directives do conform to the pattern suggested by Suresh , and in fact the sites are up. But , as but-s can be, formmail.pl and other perl scripts do not take off. What would you suggest so that I can still have a CGI script to bundle the contents of the HTML form (calling form) and mail it off ?

Dump it. In the meantime, take a look at your virtualhost directives - <VirtualHost 10.0.0.1> ServerAlias www.example.com example.com ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/example/public_html ServerName www.example.com ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/example/public_html/cgi-bin/ </VirtualHost> --suresh _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
