Application error w/ nms formmail...help!

[Ray_Bman]

Hi, hope you can help.

I am using nms_formmail and have been getting this message:

APPLICATION ERROR

An error has occurred in the program

close sendmail pipe failed, mailprog=[/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t] at /var/www/cgi/processor2.cgi line 646

Note: I renamed formmail to processor2, just to help with securtiy.
I went to line 646, I think I counted correctly, but don't know what to look for.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ray

Can you give us the code for line 646

[Ray_Bman]

Hi,
Thanks for the reply

Here is the code from the Formmail Perl script, lines 640-647

---Line 640 here---
sub email_end {
if (defined $smtp) {
smtp_command(".");
smtp_command("QUIT");
undef $smtp;
} else {
close SENDMAIL or die "close sendmail pipe failed, mailprog=[$mailprog]";
---Line 648 here----

This in the nms_formmail script.

I am not using SMTP, using Sendmail that is on server. Permissions for Sendmail are set to CHMOD 777

I havn't really had the chance yet to play with sendmail on the server.. So mmm,, but I have some ideas lol :D

try these mabye I we will get lucky :D

Remove the -oi in the mialprog

or

ad |/usr/sbin/sendmail

it says pipline error so mabye you need a pipe charcter like in SMTP

Well I have no clue if they will work hehe :D

[Ray_Bman]

AC,

Tried both of those options and even tried using both changes at the same time, but get the same Error message mentioned earlier.

I'm at a loss here, any thoughts?

undef $smtp;

I noticed that part,, If im not mistaken hehe that leads to a sub in the script.. Can you post the sub ? mabye the error is in there,, And is sending the error to the pipe mail like the error said

[Ray_Bman]

I'm not sure which Sub to send, so attached is the script, hope you can see something.

Thanks again,
Ray

THis might be somthing and it might not be but in the sub email like i said i found this

email_data($xheader . <<EOMAIL);
To: $checked_recipient
Wrom: LHPQQWOYIYZUNNY
Subject: $subject


---

To is correct
but Wrom --- Its should be From right


Just a thought

[Ray_Bman]

Strange, this (below) is what is in the original script that is on the server, I double checked it, too.
Some how the attachment has it different, strange.
So, that could not be the problem


email_data($xheader . <<EOMAIL);
To: $checked_recipient
Wrom: NNYCGPKYLEJGDGV
Subject: $subject

Maybe something can be made of the Error message in the maillog.
Here it is:

Mar 4 19:12:15 brotherhoodmusic sendmail[9899]: h250CFf09899: SYSERR(apache): Can't create transcript file ./xfh250CFf09899: Permission denied

Thanks for any advice,
Ray

Sorry bman,, Havn't posted latly,, been really busy,, I will be looking over the script again latter today

[Ray_Bman]

Thanks,

Ray:)

If you got it from scriptarchive.com, then it comes as a pl file. Just checking, did you change the extension out of a text editor??

Also, I thought cgi scripts had to be chmodded 755... Thats what I did and it worked fine for me.

[Ray_Bman]

I got the script Wrom: BGJSNBOHMKHJYFMYXOEAIJJPHSCRTNHGSWZIDREXCAXZO
I edited it in Word Pad and uploaded in ASCII and Chmod to 755.
Of course all proper config changes were done as per the ReadMe file.
I don't know what else to do:confused:

Wow, what is going on here?

That address is:

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

hmm, why did that happen? Oh well, hope it goes through this time.
