Unable to Send Modification Message

Unable to Send Modification Message
After "Validate", viewing the record, then choosing "Modify" and Submit, I get this error:

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Unable to send modification message. Reason:
Script Location : d:\(ip address shows here)\cgi-bin\links\admin\admin.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

Does anyone know what I should check to get this to work?
I haven't received any other auto-generated emails either.

Should I post the Environmental Variables?

I know I'm probably missing something simple (right?).

Most likely since you are on a Windows Server, and if your hosting company has not installed a Windows based SENDMAIL program like BlatMail, WinMail, etc., you will need to use your SMTP server for the mail processes.

Simply use the following configurations in your links.cfg file:

Code:

# $db_mail_path = '';
$db_smtp_server = 'yourdomain.com';


Change yourdomain.com to your SMTP server.

If you don't know it, check your hosting company's online documentation for setting up custom Perl/CGI scripts.

Eliot - I'm an idiot.
My Hosting company seems to have change their sendmail method over the past week.

That was the problem and now it's working ok.

Cheers,
