Anybody know what to make of this:

[2002-07-02 02:15:00]: info: (target/actual) uid: (admin12/admin12) gid: (admin12/admin12) cmd: formmail.pl

It's from somebody who has been trying to install formmail on my Ensim server. Had some more errors but I now got it down to just this one. I created a symlink in the persons html folder to the cgi-bin (the actual bin in the users /var folder) and the symlink seems to be working. I think it's probably just a matter of setting up the file permissions correctly, but I'm not sure about that.

Thanks for your advice.

Did you get any errors like this too:

[2002-02-12 09:21:40]: error: command not in docroot

I think the symlink might be causing problems with suEXEC. Run suexec -V and make sure that the real path to that file is one that suEXEC will recognize.

Use a php form mail script. :)

[2002-02-12 09:21:40]: error: command not in docroot Nope, didn't get that one, only that the.pl was writable by others.

I'll try the suggestion, hope it works. Never really have gone indepth with cgi on Ensim before. Never realized it was so...

My suggestion probably wont help much but I guess it's woth a try. What are the permissions on the file?
