Form Submit - Internal Server Error

[jr991]

When I submit my form I get the following error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [e-mail] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.flowersells.com Port 80

I used PHPFORM WIZARD to create a script to process my web form, and it works fine, except when I recreated the script using the wizard to send an autorespond email to the visitor upon submission of the form. Thats when I get the error... otherwise it would work fine.

Here's some information you may need to know.

Umm... you're missing a few "http" parts to the URL in some of the header() calls....

[jr991]

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I fixed those issues you mentioned, however it appears it wasn't the cause of my problem. Any other suggestions?

[bpat1434]

When you get an Internal Server Error it usually means that Apache has run into something wrong (like a bad rewrite rule or misconfiguration) and can't complete the request. Usually PHP has nothing to do with it, unless you're using rewrite rules.

See The Error Log in your control panel. internal server erros will be logged there.

[jr991]

I appreciate your reply, however my server doesn't show error logs because im on a shared account, not dedicated. I check this already with the host. (Godaddy)

[bpat1434]

No, you should still be allowed access to your own error logs. Plesk and cPanel have error logs based upon domain, so GoDaddy should have that. If not, you might want to find a real host.

Without the exact error it's throwing, there's no real way to know how to debug this.

[AndreF]

Yes, if you don't have Plesk or CPanel then you should have a real host to move.
If you need some reliable hostings, you may ask me.
