moved my site and have a few questions

[Fiveohhh]

Just moved a business site and have a few question, b4 I switch the name servers Iwant to make sure the sites working fine, I ftp'd the old site to my pc, and than up to the new host. and it all works fine so far, but when I try to use the page that will send me an email for a quote i get this error message:

Bad Referrer - Access Denied
The form attempting to use FormMail resides at http://aquarius.addaction.net/~trav3131/quote.html, which is not allowed to access this cgi script.
If you are attempting to configure FormMail to run with this form, you need to add the following to @referers, explained in detail in the README file.

Add 'aquarius.addaction.net' to your @referers array.

FormMail V1.6 © 1995 - 1997 Matt Wright
A Free Product of Matt's Script Archive, Inc.
Anti-spam and Security fix added by Parameshwar Babu (babuWeb@mailvalley.com)





The site was made for us by someone else, and I don't know that much about site building, just wondering what needs to be done to get it up and going again.
thanks

Have you read the readme file?

Sounds to me like the script is trying to get something from a remote point (the cgi-bin on the other server) and needs to be changed...

If I knew what readme file it was talking about I would, but I don't know anything about scripts, so I probably wouldn't know what I was reading anyway

First thing you need to do is download the latest version of the Formmail script from here, the one you are using from MSA has a number of security flaws which could turn your web server into a spam open gateway, the NMS group took over the FormMail script from Matt and re-wrote it from scratch.

Bascially you need to change the @referers array in the script to

@referers = qw('aquarius.addaction.net');


I would strongly suggest you read the readme file though...its pretty simple to follow and there are a number of examples to base your own configuration on.

I've read the readme and have a much better understanding of it now, but have a few quesetions. First I found out that the script whs was using was hosted on her site and I can't get a copy of it. and second, the script she had the form pointed to was pppfile.pl, and the one that I had is formmail.pl not sure what the diff is they both seem to be formmail stuff.

I edited the page to point to where I had the script at, but I get a page cannot be displayed error when I try to submit the form. Its pointed to the right place when I look in the address bar. anyone have any ideas I tried changing the chmod to all everything for a min to see if that was it but it didn't work still, so I set it back to 744. She had the formail.pl in my site, but everything was still generic in it, just like the one I downloaded.

Any help would be appreciated and the help so far is very much appreciated
Thanks.

if it helps where the sites at now is www.travelquest.to


edit: Think I figured it out I put the pppfile.pl where the sites hosted now, and it seems to be working I think it may have wanted to work right since I was accessing it through a differnt url that the host gave me till it propagates. don't have access to the email yet, but hopefully the form went through.
