Formmail
v1.9 FormMail
is a generic WWW form to e-mail gateway, which
will parse the results of any form and send them
to the specified user. This script has many formatting
and operational options, most of which can be
specified through the form, meaning you don't
need any programming knowledge or multiple scripts
for multiple forms.
Anyone who wants to use Formmail should consider
to use our server supplied one. If for some reason,
you must run your own copy of Formmail, make sure
it is an enhanced security version (v1.9s) found
at ftp://ftp.monkeys.com/pub/formmail/1.9s.
Our provided Formmail POST specification:
<FORM METHOD=post ACTION="http://www.mecca.ca/cgi-bin/formmail.pl">
For
the developer's guide of formmail, please visit:
https://ehosting.ca/manuals/formmail.html
Note:
After you have setup your formmail, please contact
us
at support@mecca.ca
to enable the formmail feature in your account.

Install
Perl-CGI scripts to your website:
Due to server security concerns,
we do not allow any telnet nor ssh access to our
shell. To install Perl CGI scripts, you can perform
the following:
1. Read the installation guide comes with
the Perl scipts and configure the necessary configuration
files with a text editor such as Notepad.
Below is our server information that you may need
for configuring your Perl scipts:
PERL path:
#!/usr/bin/perl
Absolute path:
You can check your absolute path by visiting http://cpanel.ehosting.ca
-> "What are my Server Settings?"
under "Current Status" section of the
left hand side of the main menu.
SENDMAIL
path (For UNIX hosting):
/usr/sbin/sendmail
or
/usr/lib/sendmail
SMTP host to use (For NT hosting):
mail.ehosting.ca
2. Upload your Perl scripts (must
be either in .cgi or .pl extensions) to anywhere
in your /web or /www directory (creating sub-directory
is fine too). Remember to upload them in ASCII
not BINARY.
3. Use a FTP program , execute CHMOD command
to set your Perl scripts permissions
to 755 and any data files and directories
to 777. FTP programs like WS-FTP
LE (PC), WS-FTP
Pro (PC),
CuteFTP (PC), CuteFTP
Pro (PC) and Fetch
(Mac) support CHMOD. (NT hosting users will
not need to perform this step)
4 . If you get "Internal Server Error",
add this line to your perl script with a text
editor (for eg. Notepad) right after the first
line (i.e. #!/usr/bin/perl):
use
CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
and a more detailed debug information should appear
in your web browser.
If
you need us to install any additional CPAN modules
for Perl or if you require further assistance,
please contact us at support@mecca.ca.

ASP components on NT hosting:
This section does not apply
to PHP programmers as PHP has native support for
outgoing emails, files uploads and image generation
(via GD library).
Our NT hosting platform supports popular ASP components
like ASPMail, ASPSmartUpload and ASPImage. ASPMail
allows your ASP scripts to send out emails via
ASP, ASPSmartUpload allows your users to
upload files to your website via ASP, ASPImage
allows you to generate images on the fly. In addition,
we also support SmartWin
E-commerce DLLs and Ticketmaster Canada DLLs (ITASLink)
for your e-commerce website development needs.
ASPMail
manual:
http://www2.mecca.ca/manuals/aspmail

or
"localhost"
ASPSmartUpload

POP3 component (Chili!POP3) are tested and supported.
