Formmail log error

[dkape]

I'm trying to set-up formmail on a virtual server. I modified the script for my domain and changed the permissions to 755. But when formmail is called from the web form, I receive the following error on my browser:
Internal server error.

The log on the server says;
fopen failed to open log file. access denied.

What confuses me is that I don't see anywhere in the formmail.pl file a path to the log file or a reference to a log file.

Can someone shed some light on where the default log file is, if there is one. And how I would specify another log file and directory, in the formmail script, where I could control access rights.

Thanks,
Doug

fopen is not a perl or cgi script error. This is an error from the operating system. You may not be able to access sendmail from a virtual server or your hosting company may not allow certain mail programs to be accessed. Call your hosting copany and ask. There's always a better way...

Disregard this question.

I must have uploaded the script in bin mode and hosed the file. When I resent it via ftp in ascii mode it worked fine.

Learn as you go.
