I have a form that’s been working up until now. But whenever I submit it now, it says its not allowed. I’ve looked and looked, but cannot see anything wrong in the source.
Is anyone able to run an eye over it to see if there’s anything that stands out.
One thing I have notices is that FW is not putting " around the POST i.e. method=POST and not method=“POST”. I did add these separately but it didnt change the outcome so I reverted back to FWs original upload.
Any help would be appreciated as I cannot figure out what to do next.
Check the permissions on send.cgi. (s.b. 755) Also make sure that
file exists. Your error is being caused there, not in your page.

Thanks Walter. Yes, the cgi file can be found at http://www.mercom.org/send.cgi and I have just changed the permissions to 755, but still no joy unfortunately.
I would check with your host, then The issue is coming from the
server’s CGI settings. The very fact that I am able to browse to the
CGI and read its source (EEEEK!) tells me that your server is not
processing it as a script – it’s being served out as plain text.
By the way, your form is perfectly fine, and the quotes or lack
thereof make no difference in HTML 4 Transitional. If you bump your
HTML level up to XHTML or HTML 4 Strict, you will see that you do
need them.

Are the htaccess rules set to allow execution of cgis wherever they
are? It used
to be normal to insist they were in a cgi-bin directory that was outside the
main published tree. Have you moved it?
