Hard time setting up bounce.cgi on DreamHost

[DW]

When I enter chmod +x bounce.cgi, nothing happens. Is it suppose to show a message under it???

No, it will not show a message unless there is an error.

You can verify the bounce.cgi permissions with the following command:

ls -al bounce.cgi

You should see the following next to the file:

-rwxr-xr-x

Here's some information about chmod:
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

or you can probably type "man chmod" from the shell (q to quit).

In the "Manage Email" section of the DreamHost control panel does it say:

bounce@yourdomain.com "Also forwards to: Nothing besides bounceuser" ?

Regards

when I type in

Is -al bounce.cgi

I get this

Code: [Select]


-rwxrwxr-x  1 yd_bounce pg909916 924 2006-09-27 18:00 bounce.cgi

the yd_bounce is my bounceuser.

Yes my "Manage Email" section shows what you said with my bounce email which "Also forwards to : Nothing besides mybounceuser".

It looks like you might have done 775 instead of 755, but it should (might) still work.

In an effort to solve this particular problem for you (so we can move on to the next one ) I will offer my hands-on assistance.  Please submit your info at the link below:

I had a look and it would appear to be a simple mistake:

In bounce.cgi,

Code: [Select]

stMail bounce.cgi
#
# Modify this file to contain your ListMail URL, place it in your cgi-bin directory and CHMOD it to 755.


should have been:

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/perl
# ListMail bounce.cgi
#
# Modify this file to contain your ListMail URL, place it in your cgi-bin directory and CHMOD it to 755.

It's updated, tested and working.

oh wow that was fast. Thanks
