I followed the instructions from this page: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/website-design/adding-contact-forms/creating-a-contact-form-with-formmail

However, I cannot get the form to work as i get the following error message when i click the submit button to submit the form:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Can someone help me here?

Hello Hengster,

I am not getting any error currently when testing the form. Were you able to get it fixed or does it error out intermittently?

Hello,

In looking at your fils, the FormMail.pl file seems to be corrupted. It appears it may have been saved by using a program that added additional markup. In your case there is a symbol added between every character on the file that should not be there. You may want to try again, but this time use something such as NotePad, which does not add additional markup. It is best to get a fresh copy of the FormMail.pl file to ensure it is not altered. That should take care of the issue for you.

Kindest Regards,
