If the path to perl on your system is not /usr/bin/perl, change the first line of the script to #! and then the path to perl. Scroll down to line 24. If the path to your mail program is not /usr/lib/sendmail (it probably is), change /usr/lib/sendmail to the path to your mail program. Congratulations, you're done configuring the script! Now open major.html in a text editor. You'll have to configure it for your mailing list, so follow the instructions between the comment tags (). This is the form that your visitors can use to send commands to majordomo, and you'll probably want to copy it into another HTML file. Now upload major.cgi as ascii, and set its permissions to 755. Congratulations, you're done! ****************************************************************************** * Troubleshooting * If you're having problems with the script, please read the following before * asking me for help. ****************************************************************************** * Script returns 500 Internal Server Error * Make sure you've changed the first line of major.cgi to #! and then the path to perl on your system * Make sure you've uploaded major.cgi as ascii, not binary. * Make sure you've set the permissions for major.cgi to 755. * Script does not send the commands to majordomo. * Make sure that you've entered the correct path to your mail program in major.cgi * Make sure that you've entered the correct address for majordomo in major.html ****************************************************************************** If you still need help, go to http://www.shavenferret.com/scripts/help.shtml
