Lycos.tripod Cgi/Perl Form

I tried using a CGI/Perl form tutorial type thing from
lycos.tripod support but I couldnt get it fully functional. The
site i have uploaded is
HERE and the page I
need the CGI/Perl to work on is
Join Us. I
made it functional enough where is if you click SUBMIT it tells me
that its going to run the CGI-BIN Script but it then just refreshes
the page after I created the "Thank You" page and the "error" page.
I was wondering if anyone could get me a step by step process
on how to do this correctly because other than that my site is
almost fully functional and free :).
Thank you in advance (btw I am not that good with technical
terms so if you can make it basic)

> The site i have uploaded is

http://www.cielodefisa.tripod.com

http://www.cielodefisa.tripod.com/JoinUs.html.
Those links are 404 not found.
On a guess-
http://cielodefisa.tripod.com/JoinUs.html
does work.
http://www.thesitewizard.com/faqs/feedbackform.shtml#missingfile
check for the chfeedback file not being uploaded to correct
directory, and
that there isn't a "thankyou" page specified in the form,
afaik.

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???

anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>

ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

CGI/perl skript doesn't run

Hi ! I am facing problem in running a Perl CGI Script on Weblogic
Application Server
I set the CGIServlet Property in the Weblogic Properties file as
# cgi configuration weblogic.httpd.register.cgi-bin=weblogic.servlet.CGIServlet
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.cgi-bin=\
cgiDir=/home/candreol/cvs/gameseeker/javapart/gameseekerlogin/WEB-INF/cgi-bin,\
*.pl=/usr/bin/perl,\ *.class=/usr/local/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/java
BUT the script is found but NOT EXECUTED. I see only the source code in the browser.
Do you know why ?
Thank you!
Christophe

Hi.
Looks like you are running WLS 5.1 (correct me if I'm wrong). What service pack level
are you running? There have been several CGIServlet bug fixes in the service packs,
including sp11 (the latest). If you aren't on sp11 then try applying that sp first.
Also, are there any errors/exceptions in the weblogic.log file?
Thanks,
Michael

Problems with cgi "file" form

Hello,
I'm having problems with setting up the cgi program in labview to allow
users upload a file by using the html file form. I have set up the form
file, so users can enter the location of the file in their computer and
then submit that file. However, the only thing that I seem to be
getting out of the contents of the action vi is the location of that
file and not that file itself. I will be very appreciated if someone
can help me or possibly send me an example vi for setting up a file
form. Thanks for your help....

Ali

Cgi-bin, form set-up

I want to create a registry on our website wherein a customer can setup his/her own registry page, type in what products he/she wants, their quantities, etc.
I understand that to do this one has first to have a "cgi-bin" file on their site to which all such forms point.
I currently cannot find any cgi-bin folder on our site. So, am I correct in stating I need one, and if so, how do I go about creating same?
Bill

First you mention cgi processing of scripts and then databases? There is no necessary connection between the two.
cgi form processing has largely been replaced by PHP or other server side languages. Again, there is no connection between PHP/ASP and server-side includes. You can have one without the other.
You will have to find out from your host what they offer. You will also need to determine what it is that you want to do. Two separate yet equally important questions.

Perl/CGI driving me nuts

Hi
I want to get cgi working with perl scripts.
I have made the following changes to httpd.conf
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
I want the cgi/perl scripts to be in the folder cgi-new
So I add
ScriptAlias /cgi-new/ "/Library/Webserver/CGI-New/"
and do the following
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-New/">
SetHandler cgi-script
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Yet when I try to run a perl script in that folder I am told I do not have permissions
The logs say
Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /Library/Webserver/CGI-New/test.pl
So apparently the server can't tell that it is allowed to execute perl scripts in that folder.
I cant understand what I am missing. As far as I can tell I have set all the variables. I have also using ServerAdmin checked CGI-execution in the options tab.
Grateful for any help on the topic

I've done some checking.
cgi-bin works fine
but executing perl scripts from cgi-new does not.
Both directories have the same ownership, all perl scripts are executable. They have the same ownership in both catalogues. If its in cgi-bin it executes, if its it cgi-new I get a 403 error about not being allowed.
The cgi-new has a directory listing in httpd.con as follows
<Directory "/Library/Webserver/CGI-New/">
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks Multiviews ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
the ScriptAliases says
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-new/((?!(?i:webobjects)).*$) "/Library/WebServer/CGI-New/$1"
So the question remains..why am I not allowed in? As far as I can tell these settings should work, but obviously I'm missing something here.

Enable CGI in Apex Apache

Hello All,
I've recently installed APEX. Everything from "apex" development point of view works just fine. But I amm having a hard time setting up/enabling CGI/Perl script in the Apache server.
I have used the standard setup therefor, my http server is http://myserver:7777/pls/apex. Now I've modified my http.conf file with the follwoing entries:
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .pl
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/apex/Apache/Apache/images/cgi-bin/"
# "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/oms10g/Apache/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
<Directory "/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/apex/Apache/Apache/images/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>I have change the permission on the folder and create a file called test.pl. When I run it I always get 500 Internal error. After checking the logs it complains about some premature headers and then states that the file does nto exist. This should really not be the case, because the test.pl is just about the simplest form possible and the apache settings ( at least I think, are to be correct). I test this by doing:
http://myserver:7777/cgi-bin/test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "testing...\n";Did I go wrong somewhere? Can anybody direct me in the correct direction. I have also ran the following to get some info on my env.

Usually a Wallet is created at installation time with a dummy certificate for SSL.
If you are planning to use a certificate from any commercial CA, you should go ahead and create a new Wallet, then create the certificate request and send it to the CA to get your certificate.
After that change the ssl virtual host configuration to point to the new wallet.

Best Practices for Forms within Site Studio Templates

Last summer our university redesigned our entire website using site studio. We only use the content server for the SiteStudio add on. During the redesign, we found that it wasn't clear how we were supposed to migrate our current web forms (applications, payment forms, etc) to sitestudio. Our current workaround is to place the form within the content server, and have it submit data to a cgi (perl,php) placed on a separate web server. We wrap the backend of the form within an html template that looks like our sitestudio templates so that it appears to the end user that they are still on our website.
Obviously, this is not ideal. I have been reading documentation on how to use the content server to host JSP files. The jsp files run flawlessly if they are accessed via the weblayout folder directly. I have not yet found a solution that will allow me to wrap my jsp forms within our existing sitestudio templates.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or come up with an alternate solution to this problem?

Thanks, I appreciate your taking time to find the precise answer. Just today this bit me again.
I have a need to modify the ComboBox template to italicize placeholder text. That's a easy thing to do; however, now that I've created a new template I have to name it and add a Style={StaticResource MyNewStyle} to ALL the comboboxes in my app.
If I leave my new template unnamed - to override the default - none of the theme resource changes that I already have in place are picked up by the existing ComboBoxes, and they revert to their default look.
There's clearly something wrong in the way I'm doing it or the way it's implemented.

FormMail Contact Form Coding Issue

Hi folks - this maybe quite a lengthly issue - however i
think it is a simple mistake somewhere
Basically I am having problem getting my submit contact form
to work.
I used the FormMail.pl script.
www.kme-steelworks.co.uk is the website I am trying to apply
the form.
I am using 123 reg server to host the site.
If you look at my homepage above . you will see the fields of
the form at the bottom of the index/home page.
I am seeing problems when I fill in the form.I have opted for
cgi/FormMail format.
Error arising when i click submit - 500 Internal Server Error
This error tends to be a permission error on the root folder
- I have adjusted the right however to 755 but internal server
error still occurring.
The submit form results should be going to
[email protected] - but it isnt
the FormMail.pl is stored on my local files in
myweb/FormMail/FormMail.pl so I created a folder on your host
server called FormMail and put my FormMail.pl file in here so it
matched.
Ok so here is my form code on my homepage
<form id="form1" method="post"
action="FormMail/FormMail.pl">
<form action="/FormMail/FormMail.pl" method="post">
<input type='hidden' name="recipient"
value="[email protected]"/>
<input type='hidden' name="subject" value="KME WEB
CUSTOMER"/>
<input type='hidden' name="required" value=""/>
<input type='hidden' name="redirect"
value="www.kme-steelworks.co.uk/thankyou.html">
<label>Name:
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="35" />
</label>
<label>Phone Number:
<input name="Phone" type="text" id="Phone" maxlength="28"
/>
</label>
<p> </p>
<p>
<label>Comments (Optional):
<textarea name="comments" id="comments" cols="45"
rows="7"></textarea>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit"
value="Submit" />
</label>
</p>
<p> </p>
</form>
What should my pl code look like if my server domain is
123reg.co.uk - my website form address is
www.kme-steelworks.co.uk my thank you page (when submit form
submits successfully is
www.kme-steelworks.co.uk/thankyou.html and the email address
I want the results forwarded to is '[email protected]'
I realise this may look like a tough post but I just dont get
why it is not posting?
Should the script be named with a cgi extension as the server
is not compatible with perl, and be placed in the cgi-bin folder?
Any help is hugely appreciated

I can't get to the support pages for that host without
logging in, but
you'll likely find your answers there.
If they're set up like 123reg.com, then the odd thing to me
is that
they allow cgi within your public_html folder.
Their path to Perl is shown as /usr/bin/perl, so if
123reg.co.uk uses
the same setup, you would set the first line shebang in your
.pl file
to look like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
And, of course, set the cgi perl file permissions to 755.
BUT...the answers will depend on how 123.co.uk has things set
up. Log
in to their site and check the support pages.
> Should the script be named with a cgi extension as the

If the server does not support Perl, no amount of file naming
will make
it work. However, looking at their hosting plans, it seems
they all
support Perl-CGI. The typical extension for Perl scripts is
.pl

Submitting files via a form

Hey guys
I have a site where the client needs a form where documents
can be uploaded and then this will be scripted (CGI-PERL) to their
e-mail inbox.
I know how to script the form, but just need to know how to
do the file upload bit. Maybe really easy!
Cheers in advance!

For an easy way to do the whole thing, take a look at Forms

Making forms

e_mail
Can anyone recomend servers which is Dreamweaver compatible,
when it comes to making interactive forms, so one does not have to
make it all from html coding?
Kind regards from Christian, Norway

Not sure if you're unclear about this, but just in case:
Dreamweaver doesn't
work the way FrontPage does, with interactive features that
you can install
automatically as long as the server supports FrontPage
Extensions.
With Dreamweaver, it's up to you to choose the type of script
you want to
use. Your choice of server shouldn't have anything to do with
Dreamweaver,
but rather with what type of script you'd like to use for
your interactive
form.
It's usually best to make the decision more like this: if
it's up to you
what server your site gets hosted on, then you need to decide
whether you'd
prefer to work with CGI/Perl scripts, or with ASP, ASP.NET,
PHP, or
ColdFusion. Dreamweaver has features to help you work with
any of those, but
it won't simply put the form in place for you.

CGI in Dreamweaver Help!

hello, hello!
I need my form to do two things simultaneously: 1. I need it
to collect all the information on the form and email it to me as
well as take the user to the credit card trransaction page when
they hit the "submit" button.
Right now I have this code for the page:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post"
action="https://www.linkpointcentral.com/lpc/servlet/lppay">
<form action="cgi-bin/form.cgi" method="post"
name="form1" id="form1">
<Form
action="https://www.linkpointcentral.com/lpc/servlet/lppay"
method="post">
If I replace the send code and make it the first, it will
take me to the thank you page and send me the info fromt he page
but not take me to the linkpoitn central. If I keep it the way it
is, I get the linkpoitn but not the information on the form.
Any ideas on what I can do here?
thanks in advance!

Which DW?
CS3 has Spry (Adobe's version of Ajax) built in, and it would
be perfect for
this kind of thing.
