I installed formmail on my site. It said installation was successful. When I click on the link it set up I get this error message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /formmail/ on this server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] Port 80

What does this mean?

Netty

That is just a safety precaution for the script. Anytime you dont have a index.html inside of the folder that is what you get Forbidden that is to stop people from viewing your directorys. To view the script and set it use these links. You can also see what the page name is by going into your file manager and selecting the folder formmail.

Hi Telli, I'm working with Netty on this page and we have no idea what we are doing lol. We didn't get anything from those links you put down and we don't have the index.html file in the formmail folder. But don't know what needs to be in it. I guess what we need is a step by step instruction on how to make the formmail work. Thanks for bearing with us PHP dumb people

Register

ok in the page [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] if you view the source (right click choose view source) you will see the form properties or this:

Thanks Telli. I saved the demo form and uploaded it to the file manager and saved it as index.php. So now when I click on Power Tools and the Formmail that comes up. But isn't a program supposed to come up that you can create a new form by just entering what info. you want to be in it? Like the gallery does. Or do we have to go in and edit the index.php from the file manager using codes to make our own form? Thanks.

Yes the only thing that the program creates is the actual form handler (formmail.php) you have to set up the form to what you want. In my above post is a great link to show you how, you will have a form set up in no time. If you need help with the form post back and I will glady help.
