My Webhost Suddenly Does Not Allow Php Contact Forms
Jun 20, 2007
My Webhost suddenly does not allow php contact forms! Instead, they expect me to change all forms on 16 sites hosted by them to use a phpFormMail solution they provide. It's a real hassle.
I have one domain that is having issues sending e-mail from any php forms, etc. They do have their MX records pointing out to a different service...is there anything special I need to have them do in order for this to work?
Also, do I need to check or uncheck "Always accept mail locally even if the primary mx does not point to this server."
Considering a web site could be completely useless without its web forms working as expected, and the uptime reports do not verify them at all, I would like to know if you people, consider it important.
Client has a nice website with a "contact us" online form. The form itself is secure (no injection attacks etc) and simply collects some data from the site-user, and emails that data to the site owners email address.
This email is sent using php "FROM" the siteusers email address (eg: random@gmail.com etc), so that when it arrives with the site owner, they can simply hit reply etc.
However - the site owners email is protected by "FrontBridge" (aka Microsoft), and suddenly they stop receiving such form-mail.
Response from FrontBridge is "If the IP that is sending these emails does not have the domain names that it is sending on behalf of registered to it, it can not send to our domain as it will be picked up and flagged as spam. " They then indicate that too much of this so called "spam" will result in a blacklisting - which is what seems to have now happenned.
Pretty unfair I'd have thought, and probably how MOST web based form2email scripts are setup.
how to fix the issue of subdomain suddenly not working. I check httpd conf the entries were there. I did run /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf but still not working. I also roce update cpanel still not workin
I have 5 servers spread out in different locations running Fedora Core, Webmin, and OpenVPN.
My most recent one I signed up with on here and for 2 weeks I have been doing various things to speed it up such as remove ipv6, change the dns servers, etc. and rebooting after making such changes.
Things were working properly and the server was rebooted last about 3 days ago after installing OpenVPN and Webmin. Yesterday afternoon the server suddenly stopped responding and dropped its VPN connections. I created a ticket with my hosts support center and they told me that the network module was uninstalled.
Is this possible? I have NEVER heard of any software uninstalling a network module and even more so suddenly stopping the service to uninstall it without a reboot?
Did my host just try to screw me to get a reimage fee on their cheap server?
first month the server well adn take backup with out any problem to ma accounts then the disk space usage ( accounts + daily backups + weekly backups ) = 56 %
now from 2 weeks my server has not take any backup why?
i've buy a domain name form a hosting company and host it at another company...
everything is fine at first...
however something weird happened when i have accidently agreed on some suggestion during ftp upload (i can't remember what is suggested while upload, i suppose to click NO but...). then my site turn to the cPanel page.
when i try check at the domain name server, the setting is correct.
however, the addon domain in the hosting company is disappeared. all the files are still in the directory, but the domain is no more appear under the added on domain list.
I tried to add the domain again, however it shows "Error from park wrapper:..." i've also checked the park domain, my domain is not in the list too...
i have a VPS on which i host one of my Proxy site and nothing else (no databases, no emails, just the usual proxy files needed).
just today it stopped working it is showing the Centos Page .the URL is [url]
here are the steps that i have taken till now without success: 1. restarted the server 2. stopped and restarted some critical services like httpd etc. 3. restarted my free crappy control panel also Ravencore
but all without success
if u feel that u can help me out then can tell u my webmin root password also via PM (u must be a reputed member).
I have a client who has 3 to 4 websites. His websites are database driven mysql. When we transfered to a new server everything works. Then he requested a iconv and GD installations. Then it was installed. Now all of his sites is impossibly to view but its up. The rest of the clients are doing just fine. What do you think is the problem? we recompiled php several times already same thing.
I've got something very strange going on....This is a CentOS server running Plesk (32 bit)...I've got clientexec installed and it has been running perfectly fine for a long time now. Today, in the middle of invoicing some clients, I got the zend optimizer not loaded page...which is weird, since i know it is loaded. Nevertheless, I downloaded the source again and reinstalled Zend and the page is still showing up. Could an automatic plesk update have caused this? (I'm not too familiar with what files are updated and whatnot when control panels are updated)
I really need to figure out what's going on here. I can get you any information you need. Are there supposed to be additional lines in the php.ini relating to the optimizer? Because I opened VI and searched for optimizer and nothing came up.......
DNS lookups against domains on my server are suddenly failing. The /etc/resolv.conf shows 3 entries for uplink DNS servers at my provider (theplanet). Bind is running, too.
What else could cause this? All sites are accessible via IP, but not by name anymore.
I have a server that I access through remote desktop. Suddenly I am getting the message "Remote Desktop Disconnected: The computer can't connect to the remote computer." when using Remote Desktop.
It was working a few minutes ago.
A while ago I suspected that someone knew the password for the box. I did change it at the time, and thought the issue was solved. Is it possible to turn off remote desktop remotely (whilst using remote desktop).
Power cycling the server isn't making any difference.
Any other options other than putting in a support request at the host?
In the last few days the responses from Plesk's XML API have been extremely slow. It's now taking an average of 45 seconds to handle an XML API request where it used to be more around 5 seconds. What would cause that? What service handles these requests on the server so I can try rebooting it?
FTP logins worked fine yesterday. Today I get a 530 Login incorrect.
I think the only change since yesterday was a server reboot.
/var/log/secure tells me that /etc/ftpusers is missing

the matter is kind of important and i dont want to discuss it in this thread, but i could not find a contact e-mail on the website. only phone numbers. so I know eurovps people are on this site, can one of them pm me and we can get in contact?
