Windmail FAQ


Q:	I have installed WebMailer on our server. However, whenever I try to press the submit button on the form of either the one I created (http://www.abc.com/order.htm) or the default sample form (http://www.abc.com/samples/samples/mailer.htm ) I receive the same error message as follows. "Form Was Not Processed Could not Create Temporary File!" WebMailer is installed in the script/cgi-bin folder under the inetpub directory. The alias name is /WMPro. It has read and execute rights. Why is it creating a temp file and what temp file is it trying to create?
A:	This problem occurs because IIS does not have an appropriate TEMP path in its environment. You'll notice that there is a WEBMLR.INI file in your WebMailerPro directory. Edit that file and add/edit a line which says: TEMP=C:\TEMP\ (or whatever your temp directory is)
Q:	I can not get the TEMPLATE_DATABASE function to work. I know that my template location is configured correctly beause I have E-mail templates that work great. I have checked and rechecked spelling, and permissions. I have a DSN that points to an Access database that works great with other applications. My geocel.log file gives these messages... [03/31/99\|09:01:28\|00222.0] Could not open Database Template File: .\GEOCEL\TEMPLATES\orderform.txt
A:	You need to look at your WEBMLR.INI. Sometimes under IIS relative paths do not work at all. There is a setting in it that needs to be added called TEMPLATE_DIR. Add the following line to your WEBMLR.INI: TEMPLATE_DIR = C:\TESTDIR\ Where TESTDIR is the actual path to your file. Then just make sure that: TEMPLATE_DIR (INI) + TEMPLATE_DATABSE (HTML form) = The filename you're looking for
