Try to use server.action at the FORM

[pchuwer]

Hi,

I have a problem, I'm trying to submit a FORM to a specific URL using the action, but I'm receiving the follow error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Anyone help me !
Tks,
Paulo

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

Check the permissions of the file (URL) where you are submitting.

Should be 644 (normally)

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

You should enter the hosting account where this action script resides and check its permissions, either with FTP or through the CP File Manager

Do you know If I can also received the datas for the form also to an email, i.e. together to send to a URL Server and to an email ?
Thanks in advance

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

Yes, you can do both things, with custom scripting. Your form data should be sent to a script of your own that should mail you the info, then it should further submit the same info to this server action script using the CURL library or by opening a socket to that server.

Requires PHP knowledge to create such a script.

Thanks, But I don't have this knowledge. Do you know if I can find this code in any place ?

Unfortunately there is no standard code to use, it needs to be writen according to data submitted, actions to be completed on your site before sending data through CURL etc.

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

So, I need to find another solution !
I thought to create 2 separate pages with 2 forms, one to be filled and than I submit to an email and than after open a new page with a form that be filled with the informations data (like a confimation) from the first page form amd than send to URL, the question is how to pass the field informations to the next form after I sent it to an email ?
What do you think ?

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

This requires the visitor to actually click twice, however it is simpler than other solutions.

Technically speaking, you need to create something like a multipage form. The fist form submits to a processor script in another page. Here the processor send you the mail. At this pont. you add another form where all fields are hidden (no need to display them) and you simply ask them to click on "Submit" as final confirmation. This second form submits to the action script of the remote server.

However, this solution ALSO requires some coding, as you can't use the built in Form Processor as is. So if you can put this in practice, you would also be able to do it through my first suggestion (CURL posting).

The issue is rather simple but requires at least a couple of hrs of work by an experienced coder. Maybe you should consider outsourcing this. The cost is relatively low.

Re: Try to use server.action at the FORM

Can somebody help me?
I have the same Internal Server error problem.
It seemed that it was caused by filling a FORM.
Please help me urgently, noone can see my website!
I can not access the admin page of the FORM, the only way through FTP.
URL permissions 644?
It means on the file properties?
It shows all file within the directory?
