i have finally gotten tfmail to work. i had everything in the cgi-bin and all worked. i then moved the location of the trt and trc files (for added security reasons) to: home/sitename/tfmail/

the tfmai.pl script: is in the cgi-bin

the missing fields template still works but when all fields are filled out the error message i receive is:

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

Application Error

An error has occurred in the program

bad logfile name [ ] at TFmail.pl line 1048.

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

my tfmail.pl script is configured as follows: </c> 

use constant DEBUGGING      => 1;
use constant LIBDIR         => '/home/sitename/tfmail/';
use constant MAILPROG       => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t';
use constant POSTMASTER     => 'terra@sitename.com';
use constant CONFIG_ROOT    => '/home/sitename/tfmail/';
use constant SESSION_DIR    => '.';
use constant MAX_DEPTH      => 0;
use constant CONFIG_EXT     => '.trc';
use constant TEMPLATE_EXT   => '.trt';
use constant ENABLE_UPLOADS => 0;
use constant USE_MIME_LITE  => 1;
use constant LOGFILE_ROOT   => '/home/sitename/tfmail/log/';
use constant LOGFILE_EXT    => '.log';
use constant HTMLFILE_ROOT  => '';
use constant HTMLFILE_EXT   => '.htm';
use constant CHARSET        => 'iso-8859-1';

the logile_ext and logfile_root fields were left blank. i recently tried filling the fields out (as they are above now) and this still did not solve the error message problem.

i created a log folder under the tfmail folder and saved a notpad file as .log...... i hope this is not too amusing...

I do not understand how to create a logfile template (i think i need a template?!) and the actual logfile itself. i have searched and searched google and forums for information on how to do this. is a log file simply a notepad file saved with a .log extension?

at this point if anyone can please help i will even pay you something if you want. i know this is probably simple stuff for people who understnad fully but it is daunting for me.

please and thank you.,
zak
