I recently had to move my web from a linux based server to a Windows IIs based server. The site is working with the exception of the box on the home page http://38.100.244.171 which allows a user to join the mailing list. The problem is in the soupermail.pl file in the cgibin folder. Or at least that is what the tech at the new host thinks. He is not familier with soupermail and suggested I try a forum. I could give access to the site for some help.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hi,
What the error message is saying is Soup can't find the config file for the form :
Error:
The soupermail CGI died due to the following error:
Cannot determine conf location from referer
Looking at your code:
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/soupermail.pl" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="SoupermailConf" value="mailinglist.txt">
mailinglist.txt should be in the same dir (folder) as the page calling Soup, http://38.100.244.171/mailinglist.html.
See: http://soupermail.sourceforge.net/manual.html#configuration%20files
Hope this helps,
Bob
I had some direct contact with Weaverl via email after he posted and he got everything resolved.
