-Sendmail Error-

Report · Dec 27, 2011

Hello All!

I have a contact form with a process.php script for the contact form i'm using on this site: http://greenzonepizza.com/contact.html

When i tested the form using GoDaddy, everything worked fine...but once my client switched to Network Solutions (for hosting) the message is no longer being sent : /

After doing some research i found that the Unix platform in NS needs a php.ini file in the cgi-bin with a sendmail path.

I then called NS (Network Solutions) to ge the correct path for the sendmail path, which i created for the php.ini file with the following script: sendmail_path = /data/23/2/12/1/2664816/user/htdocs

My question is where is the problem?

Keep in mind, the php.ini file with the one line sendmail code is in the cgi-bin folder, while the process.php file is in the htdocs folder.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I'm not entirely sure, but you might have to delete a file in the cgi-bin after you add the php.ini file. The one you need to delete is:

/cgi-bin/.php/php.coalesced.ini

I know it is a stupid question, but have you checked all the paths in the process.php file?

And the process.php file wasn't generated by GoDaddy was it?

I don't see that file, but the only files that i see in the cgi-bin are:

1.) fileman.cgi

2.) global.dat

3.) php.dat

4.) php.ini

As for the process.php file, it is not a GoDaddy file...it was code i created which until we switched to Network Solutions, worked fine : /

Here's my code for the process.php file (if you see something that may not work with Network Solutions please let me know, thanks!):

Your stuff looks fine. -Though take that with a grain of salt as the alcohol haze I am staring through might not be as clear as I think it is.

To be honest, any site I've had to work on that was hosted at Network Solutions - there has always been problems.

I'm going to put my money on the fact that your issue is probably 100% related to their server and not your files.

I don't have current access to any hosting accounts there so I can't poke around and from you saying that file isn't there - I'm clearly remembering things wrong..

Sorry I can't be more help.

I'd call their tech support again and demand that it be looked at by a higher tier than those that answer the phone.

-or- tell your client to get better hosting.

-or- set someone on fire. (That's what my cat says you should do.)
