I have a perl form email script on the servers cgi-bin directory ( /usr/lib/cgi-bin ).

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

The issue is with paths.

html calls script here:

<form name="Request" method="post" action="http://server-test.local/cgi-bin/formprocessorpro.pl" onsubmit="return checkWholeForm49874(this)">

The directory with the templates and configs is passed here:

<input type="hidden" name="base_path" value="../contact" />

The path to this form is:

http://server-test.local/formstest/contact.htm

No matter what variation I try for the base_path I get an error from the formprocessor script that it can't find the directory:

An error occurred when opening the Form Configuration File (../contact/form.cfg): No such file or directory.

I need to move this script from an old server, configured by a previous sysadmin, to a new server.

Since cgi-bin is automatically linked to /usr/lib/cgi-bin and linked such that the script resides:

http://server-test.local/cgi-bin/formprocessorpro.pl

I would imagine that, given that the templates are in the webroot in a directory called contact, the correct path would be:

../contact

Any ideas? It's been awhile since I've messed with CGI.
