When someone goes to add a link they get a 500 server error. I went through many of the posts related to this and tried the fixes I could find but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

When you say 'add a link', do you mean after they submit the page, or just when they try to even call add.cgi? If the first one, then you may want to check your path to Sendmail, as this has done the same thing to me before.

Its not an error, its debugging.

Not when you call add.cgi but when you hit submit. You get a 500 server error.

I know its debugging I thought it might help to provide since I cannot figure why the problem is occurring.

Here is path to sendmail

PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '

Use:

$db_mail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i";

If that doesnt work use:

$db_mail_path = "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i";

# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i'; $db_smtp_server = '';

Fixed the 500 error, here is the error I got when I went into admin and validated



CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to init mailer! Reeason: Sendmail was not defined or not found: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

Here is output of perldiver for sendmail.

sendmail:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/share/man/man8/sendmail.8.gz


I tried both sbin and lib

Try the other one:

$db_mail_path = "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i";

I did I got the same thing...
