php problem

[davehappen]

hi all, i've tried to include a php page counter on a web site, i've changed the page to .php but when i publish the site again i get the 404 error message.
i publish all the files, what am i doing wrong?????

[crispy68]

a 404 error means the page you are trying to access does not exist on the server. Are you sure you are publishing to the correct folder? Do you have a link to your site?

[davehappen]

ive changed the page back to html now but im unsure how i can be publishing it to the wrong folder as im using the apps publisher app.

[crispy68]

Where WB publishes is based on the info you provide it. Are you sure the info entered is the correct place on your server? Do you have a link to the page so we can see?

[davehappen]

hi crispy, heres the web, i have a counter on there from a third party but would like to keep all in house as it where.

hi all again, i have published a site with a form on one page with a .php extension (success and error page also .php) the site works but for the form page. what am i doing wrong??????

[davehappen]

sorry the site is;
rctriders.co.uk
and the form page is only accesable for the home (index) page.

[Pablo]

Where on the website is the form?
And what exactly do I need to do to see the error?

[davehappen]

the entry point to the form is the drop down menu rct riders shop shop enrolement

[Pablo]

Either the file is not on the server or there is a mistake in the settings.
To be able to help you, I need a demo project file so I can see all your settings.

not sure if this is any good

[Pablo]

It looks like you have enabled 'MYSQL'?
Did you create the database table?
Are you sure all MySQL settings are correct?

Tip: if something does not work then first try to make a basic form work (without advanced options).

[davehappen]

as youve gathered im new to all this and am struggling to take it all in, i thought if you did a form you needed a db behind it????
im unsure what you mean by advanced settings

The success and error page should be .html not .php

[davehappen]

Is it working for you??.

[WWBman]

Is it working for you??.

Not sure what you are referring to?

[davehappen]

The form page, if you look on the web site menu rct shopping, enrolment.

[WWBman]

I get "404 - File or directory not found."
Did you publish all files?

[davehappen]

Yes published the whole site

Please uncheck MYSQL. Start with a basic form (email only).

[davehappen]

The club I’m with would like a dB, it works in xampp, data base created I just need to get the pages showing.

[Pablo]

The reason why it does not work is because there is a configure problem.
To find out what is worn, I strongly recommend to do one thing at a time.
- First make the basic form work,
- once that works, move to the next step to enable the database
if you try to do too much at the same time then it's difficult to find out where the exact problem is.

[davehappen]

The form works pablo, I have a table with data in it that I’ve inputted, the page is set .php but I get 404 error message, so I think the problem is not the dB. If you can remote assist I’ve no objections.

[Pablo]

How do you know that the form works, if the page does not show?

If the server does not show the page then this usually means that there is an error in the script.
I think there is a problem in the settings, most likely in MySQL.

Please enable reporting on the server so you can see where the exact error is.

[davehappen]

It works on xampp, through localhost, I’ll screen shot you what I have

[davehappen]

[Pablo]

Does the form work online without MySQL?

[davehappen]

Not sure what you mean??

[Pablo]

I am asking you to disable MYSQL in the properties of the form and test if the page loads in that case.

or else enable error reporting on the server, so it displays a useful message instead of a generic error

[davehappen]

I take it, i uncheck the MySQL on the form, I’ve no idea how to enable error reporting,

[davehappen]

Turned off MySQL, still get 404

[Pablo]

If you do not know how to enable error reporting on the server then please contact your webhost for assistance.

Note: if the form work locally, the it an only be a configuration issue.
But to be able to help you I need to know what the error.

[davehappen]

Ok, thanks, I’ll speak to the web host on Monday and set that up, thanks for your assistance. Maybe I’m trying to run before I walk, but if there was a bridge to jump off I’d always be the first. Thank again.

[davehappen]

hi pablo, it seems that my web host does not turn on php hosting automatically, it is now on and i can see the form, im unsure as to configure the form, i supose all details will be the same apart from the server, would that be domain name or ftp name or do ineeded to contact my hosting to find that out. also i have a script on a note pad page for error reporting but unsure where to put it for upload.

[Pablo]

The settings of the advanced form configuration are different for each server. Only you host can tell you the correct values.
