Cgi Issues

[condell]

Some issues with cgi forms.

 

1. cPanel cgi option lists 2 form options, FormMail and cgiemail. But only cgiemail exists in the Helio root folder for the Helio account I have. Does that mean that FormMail isnt offered?

 

2. When a domain is added, a cgi-bin folder is added too. Is this redundant if we should be using the cgi-bin folder in the root domain?

 

....am still in the process of trying to get a form working on my website.....

Yes FormMail is offered. I enabled it not long ago.

So why cant I still see FormMail.cgi in my root cgi-bin?

 

All I see is cgiecho and cgiemail and a few other files not related to forms.

[Byron]

Because it's not located there. You'll use this as your form action:

 

http://yourdomain.heliohost.org/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi

 

Don't forget to replace "yourdomain" with your heliohost domain. Or you can just find the url at your cgi center.

So why can I not see the cgi-sys folder in my cPanel File Manager, even with showing hidden files I still cannot see it anywhere?

That's the way cpanel has set it up. Besides you don't need to see it.
