Damn Cobalts :(
Ok, Ok, I know not all cobalts are crap, but this one is really getting on my nerve! For some reason add.cgi works fine until you click the submit button! After that you get the dreaded 500 IS Error Frown

I have searched the forum, and found posts regardint he location of sendmail and admin email address not being set correctly, but both of the ARE!

The link is added to validate.db, and if i validat/delete the links via the admin interface emails are sent out alerting the sender of the decision. Obviously this is to do with something else, but I cant seem to work out what!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy

Check your error _log_

It is human error not the server

I bet you don't have the email address existing as a pop3 on the server (or something similar)

I'd love to, but the Cobalt does not seem to have an error log! Does FatalsToBrowser work with Cobalt servers? If so, I may just replace the eval sub and use that instead.

Thanks

Um fatalsToBrowser is a perl sub and isn't server dependant. If perl is installed fatalsToBrowser will work.

Do you have root access? If so, the error log is under /var/log
You have to either download it and view offline, or view it online using pico...

Damn it. Now I keep getting the followign error when running by Telnet;

Code:
Content-type: text/html

<H1>Software error:</H1>
<CODE>Can't locate /links/cgi-bin/admin/site_html_templates.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at add.cgi line 33.
</CODE>
<P>
For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message
and the time and date of the error.

[Wed Sep 19 02:58:28 2001] add.cgi: Can't locate /links/cgi-bin/admin/site_html_templates.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at add.cgi line 33.

I hve changed the locations to links.def etc at the top of the file to the full paths, but it still dont work properly! It brings up this alert first time in TelNet, but shows up fine for the first part in a browser! As soon as I submit the info I get a 500!

Any more ideas?

Well if you HAD changed it to the full path it wouldn't say:

/links/cgi-bin/admin/site_html_templates.pl

.......but again.....it is likely to be an EMAIL problem.
