Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2003 6:07 pm Post subject: How do I install Blat? |
|
|
Ultimately, I'm trying to install FormMail from Matt's Script Archive. However, I've discovered that I need a sendmail program. Thus, I downloaded Blat.
The installation instructions for Blat are:
1) Copy the file "Blat.exe" to your "\WINNT\SYSTEM32" directory, or to any
other directory in your path.
2) Run "Blat -install yourhost.site.blah.blah youruserid@site.blah.blah"
Ok, great. I've done the first. But, what the heck does the second one mean? Obviously, I'm a novice at this.
Please help!! Thanks!!

It seems that blat is used for Internet Information server only "IIS" , you should try another send mail program because abyss has no such directory, only (IIS) does. 8) _________________ This web server is the best ! |

Blat is not for IIS, it works on any Windows PC. The second instruction means "open your DOS command window, type the command there, and press return". _________________ Support Team

I have the same problem with forms. I'm not sure what to do. I tried php but I get this error:
Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\cgi-bin\test\mail\formmail.php on line 237
I have searched my computer and could not find php.ini, but php is installed and working properly.
This is the section of code that the eror points to:
Code: |
// mail the content we figure out in the following steps
function mail_it($content, $subject, $email, $recipient) {
global $attachment_chunk, $attachment_name, $attachment_type, $attachment_sent, $bcc;
$ob = "----=_OuterBoundary_000";
$ib = "----=_InnerBoundery_001";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$email."\n";
$headers .= "To: ".$recipient."\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\n";
if ($bcc) $headers .= "Bcc: ".$bcc."\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: DT Formmail".VERSION."\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n\tboundary=\"".$ob."\"\n";
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";
$message .= "\n--".$ob."\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n\tboundary=\"".$ib."\"\n\n";
$message .= "\n--".$ib."\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain;\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n\n";
$message .= $content."\n\n";
$message .= "\n--".$ib."--\n";
if ($attachment_name && !$attachment_sent) {
$message .= "\n--".$ob."\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: $attachment_type;\n\tname=\"".$attachment_name."\"\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n\tfilename=\"".$attachment_name."\"\n\n";
$message .= $attachment_chunk;
$message .= "\n\n";
$attachment_sent = 1;
}
$message .= "\n--".$ob."--\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

the form that I am trying to use has an email field to enter the address but it doesn't work.
Is there something else that I can try like sendmail?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
