URL not found error

[dadybj]

I am trying to send a form through email with .php and get a "URL not found on server". Yet the file is there. I have tried everything I know, changing directories, renaming files, etc, to get it to work. No luck. Can someone help?

Could you supply more information.. and have you tried accessing the page directly without a form?

If you would like to see what is happening go to www.docu-destruct.com/Contact.htm and try to submit info.

Hi,

wherever your building your form its pointing to :

www.docu-destruct.com/httpdocs/sendmail.php

Leave out the httpdocs as in:

www.docu-destruct.com/sendmail.php

and it works.

Noods

No it doesn't work. Thanks anyway. I have tried all that and more. It should work. It always has until now. Here is the html code being used...

<form ACTION="http://www.docu-destruct.com/sendmail.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[e-mail]">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="More Info About DDS Please">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.docu-destruct.com/Credentials.htm">

<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send" align ="LEFT">

</form>

Maybe it is so simple that I have overlooked it.

Hi,

i checked the url and the action is

<form ACTION="www.docu-destruct.com/sendmail.php" method="post">

instead of

<form ACTION="http://www.docu-destruct.com/sendmail.php" method="post">

The following should be sufficient:

<form ACTION="sendmail.php" method="post">

If you browse directly to:

http://www.docu-destruct.com/sendmail.php

then the page loads, and gives you an error about not having any POST or GET values with a back button. I assume this is correct, since it isn't system generated.

Make one of the changes suggested by Thomas, and you should be fine... Otherwise, you may want/need to get your webhost more involved, since there is something screwy about how your form is posting. (I realize your webhost will probably say no changes were made, but they need to be involved more once the code is 100% corrected.)

[dadybj]

I have tried all that stuff and much more. You are right...

<form ACTION="sendmail.php" method="post">

should work. That is the way I always set it up, and it works fine. They (my hosting company) do not have a public_html directory. All the files for the site are under the "httpdocs" directory. Maybe this is the problem. When I try to upload to the root directory I get an access denied error. I guess I will have to get my host more involved. When I first uploaded the site, the form would not work at all. They did not have .php installed on the server. Unheard of these days. They do now. This has to be a server problem. What do you think?

[TheDefender]

I agree, because your code looks fine, and I created a mockup environment on my host, and it works fine. The true test for you would be if you can do it offline, on your offline localhost machine, then be suspicious of the webhost.

Like I said before, it sounds like you need to get your host involved in this, and given the info you have provided, I am even more convinced of it.

Just wanted to say thanks to all who replied. Thanks
