[FONT=&quot]Hi everyone[/FONT][FONT=&quot],[/FONT][FONT=&quot] I’m a self taught noob, who is still learning and have[/FONT][FONT=&quot] been trying to figure out why my mailer.php file is not working. Well I think that is the problem. Unless I’m completely wrong. Whenever I press the submit button for my contact form it gives me a window with two errors.[/FONT]  
[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=&quot]“[/FONT][FONT=&quot]The requested URL /contact/mailer.php was not found on this server.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=&quot]Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an Error[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Document to handle the request.[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=&quot][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]”[/COLOR][/FONT]  
[FONT=&quot](Also, this is on the page as well.)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]With this mailer php I found and made subtle changes to it to correspond with the contact form I made, I’m trying to have messages sent from a website to my email. If anyone out there knows what my problem is and could steer me in the right direction. I would be extremely appreciative.[/FONT]
