Problems with Re-direct page affecting form submission

[amandleigh]

I have a form:

<form action="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" method="POST" name="Survey">

Then I have my redirect
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="

http://www.rpnmag.com/surveycongrats.asp">

How come if I make that re-direct address"

http://www.rpnmag.com/survey/surveycongrats.asp"

instead of "

http://www.rpnmag.com/surveycongrats.asp"

the form doesn't process. When you hit submit you get a 404 error about not being able to find formail.pl. As long as that surveycongrats.asp is in the main directory, though, all runs smooth.

Probably because the file:

http://www.rpnmag.com/survey/surveycongrats.asp

does not exist.

I get a 404 error if I go directly to that URL.

Move the file into that folder, and you should be fine.

Hope this helps,
Dan

formmail.pl should be in the cgi-bin directory and your asp script is in another directory. You have to use full path names.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

You probably got a 404 error when you went to the congrats page cause instead of having duplicates of the file I was just moving it around...


tviman - thanks for jogging my memory of something I missed. I put the full path in for the redirect page but NOT for the cgi-bin dir. That fixed it!
