How To Use This Form
In order to get this form work for you, copy this
form to your personal web space on Ryker. You'll probably want to name it
some intuitive such as feedback.html and change the HTML formatting
(color and font choices). While editing the file, be sure to change
YOUR_USERNAME to the account name you log in to Ryker with. Otherwise, this
program will never ever send you email.
Once you have done this, you're one step away from completing the task! All
that's left is the $HOME/.allowformmail stuff. You've probably been
wondering what that's all about.
It's pretty simple, actually. $HOME is your home directory--where you start
off when you login to Ryker. The file .allowformmail is a simple safety
precaution to prevent you from receiving email when you don't wish to receive
any. By issuing the command touch $HOME/.allowformmail, you've created
a file with nothing in it. That's all that's needed.
Problems
If you experience any problems getting the form to work, make sure that you
have an exact copy of this file and that you have
completed the steps in this tutorial.
If you're still having problems, then you probably have the wrong permissions
on your home directory and the .allowformmail file. Simple issue the following
two commands: chmod a+x $HOME
chmod a+r $HOME/.allowformmail
