Thread: cgi bins

Aloha, how do I set up a cgi bin for the comment form and order form installed on my website www.hawaiionyourown.com/form1? When someone clicks on submit, where does the information go to? How do I retrieve it?

You have a cgi-bin - it comes with VodaHost. Log in your FTP and you will see it.

David offer's a great php form to everyone who has VodaHost. You can visit his website at:

If you wish to tackle it yourself (since you have already made the form) try this for a simple php mailto set up. This will mail the info to your e-mail account.

I copied and pasted the script in and it shows up on the web site. I didn't changed a thing except to insert my email address.

Does this happen in preview or after you have published? if in preview it is normal, it needs to be published. If it happens although you have published, you probably didn't remember to change the page properties so that the page would be published as .php and not as .html

It happens in published with the php checked. Also my links are not working so I pulled them. Any suggestions?

Please post here the URL of the form page and the URL of the php page.
