"CONTACT US" FORM INACTIVE

P

pretorian

Under CONTACT US form on my website. How do I make this form active? All the information needed for the form field properties are all intact and still the form doesn't seem to work. In addition, I am getting a message from the hosting company that goes.-------->"We have disabled the formmail scripts from the cgi-sys
directory as they are insecure. If you use forms on your site you will need to upload your own form script into your cgi-bin directory or look for a php alternative."

Could anyone take a shut at this.... PLEASE.( AND i'm using FP2003 w/ server extension)

Ask your hosting company if the FP extensions are configured for you to process forms.

Otherwise post a URL to the form.

It requires that the form be hosted on formbreeze system, not the actual
website.

| Hi,
|
| I'd recommend that you take a look at FormBreeze
| (http://www.formbreeze.com). We use this for all our forms and it is
| the best solution I have seen with capabilities way beyond formmail
| scrips.
