Lee & Tracy.

Thanks for the help so far, i have been playing with settings and watching uploads as they happen.

I can see the scripts are being written correctly, ActinicDirectory.pl, ActinicMailTest.pl and a couple of other files get written as well.

When i click next to confirm email settings ActinicMailTest.pl gets kicked out of the cgi-bin (755).

I have stummble upon Gabriels posting 26 July 2007 "completely useless error messages" http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=31896

My File ActinicMailTest.pl
C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\ActinicMailTest.pl

Is Flipping showing #!NETQUOTEVAR:PERLPATH in the header.

Where can i find all the correct Perl files?

having read Gabe's post, it seems his solution was to replace the mail script, thus have you

copied formmail.pl from C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Original\Formmail.pl to site1 and refreshed?

MailForm.pl is there, is that the one you mean?

[pinbrook]

yes mailform.pl is the live file

Have you contacted your hosts to see if they made any changes (eg CGI bin, new version of PERL etc) without telling you?

Hi there, I have checked your mailform and tried to send an email, got the blank page, so checked the error log, and see

2008/12/14 12:01, Internal Errors = Unable to connect to the mail socket (Connection timed out)

So it is trying to send an email, but it cannot connect to the email server, I would check what you have in network setup, (might be an idea to put in localhost in there) or if it was working before but not failed, contact the hosting company and ask them have they changed your smtp server, It looks like they have changed it.

Kind Regards

Well done. Local host worked. Passed the test, refreshing the website now.

I did check my error log at the server and i was getting a different respoce that yours. Stay tuned, i will let you know if it all works.

in the v9 folder there is a file called mail2hst.txt this lists the requirement to host an actinic site.

either send this to a potential host or go to actinic website to see recommended hosts or search this forum for hosting recommendations

Hi Jo, thanks for the info, i have anither site working fine on the server i am moving to.

ALL FIXED NOW!!! Yey...............

Local host workedd, i cant belive it was that alone, i am very concerned my error log was giving different results on the server.

Anyway, to all who posted and gave me some feedback, Thank you.

That good to know, Yeah Localhost sometimes works really, so glad it worked for you. If it didn't, then you would need to put in the smtp server, plus username and password
