I need help with a mail script

[eiotech]

Im working on a site for my friend and need to get a script to process the mail form. I've tried it on my own, cant do it. His service provider is useless and cant help me. Can anyone hold my hand and show me how to make it work?

the mail form is on this page

http://www.rrstages.com/html/contact.html

thanks,

The actual script results in a not found...

<FORM ACTION="http://www.rrstages.com/cgi-bin/smtpl.cgi" METHOD="POST">

"Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server."

I would check permissions of the cgi-bin and script and also be sure they allow your own scripts.

First, the script must be installed on a web server that allows scripting.
Second, the permissions must be set to allow it to execute.
Finally, it must be properly called from the html form.

Any further debugging would require more logged errors.

its the first two that im clueless about.

they said there was not a mail script installed on the server and i would have to do it myself, but didnt say it needed to be in a specific place, what should i do?.

If your page calls "http://www.rrstages.com/cgi-bin/smtpl.cgi" then that is where the script needs to be. If you can't put it there then change the page to point to the script.

I can put the script where ever i want from what they told me.

Im thinking about asking this guy if he'll move his sight to future quest so i dont have to deal with this anymore.:yeah:
