add.cgi error fixed.. but not getting mail
Hello!

I read the posts about fixing the add.cgi problem (when you get an internal 500 error) and was able to fix it by changing my mail to localhost. However, now I don't get anymail. :-)

Normally, I use this for my cgi scripts:
/usr/lib/sendmail or
/usr/lib/sendmail -t

when I've tried that I go back to getting the 500 error. But when I use localhost everything works fine but I don't get my e-mail notifications.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Amy

Try using:

Code:

$db_mail_path = '/usr/lib/sendmail -t';


Single quotes NOT double quotes.

Hello Elliot!

Thanks for the advice, but it still gave me the internal 500 error. Its funny, because if I place it
$db_smtp_server = '/usr/lib/sendmail -t'
instead of where it should go, the 500 error goes away, I just don't get any mail. But as soon as I place it where it should be, ($db_mail_path) I get that 500 error. Any other suggestions as to what my problem might be?

Thanks so much for your time!

1) /usr/lib/sendmail is for SENDMAIL programs NOT SMTP ($db_smtp_server).

2) Try the following codes:

Code:

$db_mail_path = '/usr/lib/sendmail';


3) If that doesn't work, then try the SMTP via the $db_smtp_server...

Code:

$db_smtp_server = 'yourdomain.com';


Replace yourdomain.com with YOUR domain.
