Topic: PHP Problem?

[Normando]

Other settings that may be interesting to change:

$allowOverride = "all";
$followSymLinks = "enabled";

in etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/90e-smithAccess40ibays

Don't modify the template file. Instead use the DB variables:

I searched a bit to find out how to do this but could not find it.

Thanks for the info,

You are welcome.

Code: [Select]

db accounts setprop ibayname AllowOverride all
db accounts setprop ibayname FollowSymLinks enabled
signal-event ibay-modify ibayname

At last - that's fixed it!

Thanks Rob

Curses - it's broken again!

Situation - very simple php contact form.  Fill in max 10 fields, press on send.  You get a thank you screen and can go further, I get an e-mail with the info from the fields which are filled in.

It's stopped working again, but differently this time. When it broke last time, instead of getting the "thank you" screen, there was just a white screen, and no e-mail was sent.  Thanks to the advice posted by colleagues on the forum, we managed to fix it.

Now it's stopped working again.  I don't know exactly when - if you're not a veterinarian interested in poultry disease this site won't be high on your list of places to visit. 

Joking aside, we get maybe 4 or 5 contacts per year.  In June it worked fine! 

The situation now is slightly different.  Now if someone fills in the fields and presses "send", they DO get through to the thank you screen, and an e-mail is sent, BUT the e-mail is blank - the data entered on the web form doesn't get sent with the e-mail.

The server WAS SME 7.3 when I noticed the problem (Friday).  I have now carried out the update to 7.4 but this has not helped.  I have also tried the things previously suggested in this thread.

I appreciate that this is strictly-speaking probably not a SME problem, but it was working and now it's not.  Nothing has changed in the website code - it was done for us by someone who's unfortunately not around any more - it just works and we leave it alone.  The only changes are the updates to the server.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Not to spoil you with the technical details but perhaps the origin might be somewhere in your code.
I guess I can help you but I think we need to know a little more on the script. Perhaps you can put it on the net somehow for instance on http://pastebin.com/ so PHP coders, like me can have a look at it (If there are passwords in there be sure to remove them).

What a spoil. This is another reason why I love SMEServer.
Lots of great and helpful people here.

Hi Cactus,

Thanks for your kind offer.  I have (hopefully) made a site wpsa.pastebin.com.  I have copied the whole contents of a file on our web server called wpsamaillid.php over to this site.  If it's not there, or you need something else, please let me know.

Thank you once again.

It seems not to be there... you can also send it by e-mail, it should be in my profile.Oops, it is there, too quick to jump the gun.

Ho Cactus,

Have been looking myself, and it seems that the php script is called from a page called contact.html

I have pasted this also in case the fault lies there.

Thanks, but I suspect the problem is in the first script you pasted in pastebin, it relies on the deprecated register_globals function which is turned off by default since PHP 4.2.0. I have send you an e-mail with a quick and dirty work around, which does not require to enable that option again.

Hi Cactus,

Thanks for the response.  Haven't received a mail.  Did you send it to the hotmail id in my profile?

Maybe you could send to info(at)wpsa.be please

Thank you once again

Hi Cactus,

Found your modifications on Pastebin.

Added them in and it works again.

You are a star!

Thank you.

[cactus]

Found your modifications on Pastebin.

You should also have received a copy on the e-mailadress you requested some hours ago as well as on your profile e-mailaddress.

[dave simmons]

Cactus,

FYI your mails don't seem to be coming in.
