 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)

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".

|

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! |
