    need help with mailmachine freeware!

    is there someplace I can get help with the freeware version of mailmachine?

    I followed all the directions i found online (3rd party website i think), but got stuck.

    I got everything done up to when you enter the url to go into the admin section.
    I saved the cgi file
    made changes to the cgi file as necessary (customized it)
    uploaded the cgi file to my cgi-bin
    created a text file of email addresses
    uploaded the text file to cgi-bin
    entered html code to create form on webpage (worked fine)
    created an archive folder in my cgi-bin
    changed the premissions for the three files as instructed

    then i went to the url http://www.mypage.com/cgi-bin/mailmachine.cgi?admin (edited with my page url of course)

    and i got a internal server error message (500)

    can someone let me know what I might have missed/done wrong?
    thanks!

    Hi frogger. What is your site name if you don't mind me asking?
    Diane
    www.smallbizunite.net

    At first you don't succeed, pick yourself up and try again!
