Do you see Avalon's attached image? Except for index.html file (which can be deleted) your file directory should look exactly like Avalon's. If you deleted them all and cannot restore from your recycling bin, you have to request for account reset atFree Web Hosting > Misc. Requestsand it will cost you 15 credits.

I'm glad to be a help. For multiple formmail using CGI script, please refer to this thread http://forums.xisto.com/topic/26683-2-diffrent-form-mails/ ----- Topic closed -----

Would you look at that... I learned something new to day, too I guess when a variable requires to be a single value you can use one variable to gather multiple answers. Nice finding, guys!----- Topic resolved, thread closed -----

Then next time state the nature of your problem with detailed description. What was your post about? Or did you simply post to gain hosting credits? Do you think any of us would have known your problem by "I have a problem" title? You have been warned. The next hack job will lead to disabling from posting. ----- Topic Closed -----

You really have to improve your topic title and description entering. The next time it will be costing you adjustment in warning level. I'm assuming you are referring to your cPanel login. From what you have given us this is the best assumption I have. Otherwise you have not described in enough detail. Do not book mark the cPanel index page (if that's what you did). This is a password protected page and thus you should log in always, all the time. To access your cPanel always type: http://ww38.yoursite.com/cpanel or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and enter your cPanel username and password

You have the same NAME variable. Remember this is an elementary formmailing script. You must not have the same variable. You can achieve your code ONLY if you put IF then ELSE loop script. Plan Selection: <input type="radio" name="plan" value="bronze"> Bronze <input type="radio" name="plan" value="silver"> Silver <input type="radio" name="plan" value="gold"> Gold <input type="radio" name="plan" value="maintenance"> This is where I think the substitution erro occurs. You cannot have the same NAME variable. For now, keep it simple. Try like this <input type="radio" name="Bronze" value="Yes"> Bronze <input type="radio" name="Silver" value="Yes"> Silver <input type="radio" name="Gold" value="Yes"> Gold <input type="radio" name="Maintenance" value="Yes"> And your signup.txt To: webarby@yahoo.comSubject: Request Web Design PlanName entered: [name]Sender's email: [email]Sender's addres: [address]Sender's City: [city]Sender's ZipCode: [zip]Sender's Plan: Bronze - [Bronze] Silver - [Silver] Gold - [Gold] Maintenance - [Maintenance] Sender's phone: ([area])[exchange]-[number]Sender's question: [question]This will send you something like this when a visitor selects the silver plan It's not pretty but it works. You get the idea what returns and what variable you need to separate and don't confuse the script... lol

I'm getting this error It would be helpful if I can see the signup.htm and signup.txt file

Compute To redirect to another page without showing up the user's confirmation page use this html mark <input type="hidden" name="success" value="http://yourWebsite.com/whatever_you_want_them_to_see"> INSTEAD OF <input type="hidden" name="addendum" value="Thank you. If you are seeing this page, you should be contacted within 48 hours."> You can check out this page to read up on instructions http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html midnightvamp I double checked using language and it worked for me. Make sure you follow this TXT format found here http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Spacing in TXT file is important. Please let me know if you were all able to use this feature. I'm sorry that my tutorial isn't perfect and not working out as I hoped.

Never SENT or never RECEIVED? Your mailbox will not keep records of what is sent unless you configure your mailbox to do so. But this CGI script uses another mailserver other than Xisto and yours so you will not have any record of sending. This is sending data using straight character send, hence called CGI (common gateway interface). It does not need permission of SMTP to send data over the net. Edit: lol sorry, my reply is slower than your question... did you set up your top level domain with Xisto's mail service? Instead of fixing what I assume as a faulty setup with your domain name and the hosting, use your Yahoo or Gmail or whatever to test it out. Just change the To: email@wherever.com in your TXT file and you should be able to find out right away.

Allow me to give you further examples:You have contact.htm and template.txtYou place them both in public_html then your code will be <form method="POST" action="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; name="myform"> You place them both in public_html/foldername then your code will be <form method="POST" action="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; name="myform">

Compute There was a bit misunderstanding when I saw your previous post. You place your TXT file in the same directory as your contact.htm file. That you did right. But you still have to leave it as <form method="POST" action="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; name="myform"> in your contact.htm and no other directory name before /template.txt since you placed it directory in the public_html folder. midnightvamp I think the variable is still misread by the form. Try name instead of language and change it in your TXt file to reflect the same. If it still doesn't work I guess I'll fire-up the editing software and I'll test it out myself. Sorry that I did not check my work thoroughly.

midnightvamp There's a good possibility that FirstName isn't a compatible variable. Try first instead of that caps version. I use that variable to demonstrate the difference. So your HTML should look First Name:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="first" size=25 maxlength=50> <td> and your TXT file should have first as the required field to be filled. And the rest, etc etc. When you don't see the desired information sent back to you, it means that the variable is mistaken or not recognized. Compute You should place both TXT and HTML form page in the same directory. Nothing should ever be in your CGI bin folder. And when receive the same result as midnightvamp did, refer to the reply I gave to midnightvamp. Good luck guys Edit: Compute let me reiterate that. Wherever you place your HTML form file, that's where the TXT file should be.

Please use correct grammar (using proper punctuation) or write in a simple sentence. I couldn't understand what you were saying. Did you delete all your files? Did you delete public_html folder? www folder is merely a short-cut to public_html folder. Without public_html folder www folder is useless.If so, you have to ask administrators to reset your account. Without those essential files you cannot show your website properly. You should never touch something that was created fresh... when you know your account was created from the beginning why would you go around and start deleting things? If your account is beyond salvaging from mere putting back the deleted files (I hope you didn't clean up the recycle bin) then resetting your account will cost 15 hosting credits.

Sorry to be off topic but CGI stands for Go to google.com and type in the search field and look for this related meaning and links for Common Gateway Interface. Edit: For those who are looking to use this preinstalled script and have had trouble getting it to work, please check this thread http://forums.xisto.com/topic/26673-seting-up-form-mail-help/ Thank you

I don't know how simple you guys are looking for. But I have written a tutorial regarding CGI mail. You can read it here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/25640-how-to-use-Xisto-cgi-formmail-a-built-in-script-in-every-hosting/ and don't forget to read the post #3 for supplement. This CGI script is basic information gatherer. When all you want is person's information entered by that person online--this is for you. I have been using this to gather anyone who's seriously interested in my website offers and takes the time to fill out information for me to contact that person. The collecting form is whatever you want to make it look...you can even use the form generator found as free when you search the web (or search Xisto for form generator). Let me know if that help you guys out.

I'm sorry. It must've looked terrible--and thinking that we have skipped over your application.Please be patient while administrators are handling several numerous issues at once. It seems like OpaQue was handling applications and account upgrades at the same time during his short break. We are all volunteers and we do our best to keep every member feel important as though you were the only member to this forum. Please be assured that your application WILL be reviewed as soon as they return. Okay?Thank you.

I noticed that too. So I kept on clicking the refresh (accidentally) and found out that each time the color sequence is/was different from the previous. After a while the patter seems to be there. But the one thing is for sure: the first color is always Blue.

Thank you for your question.Please take the time to familiarize yourself with cPanel, given by Xisto. Access your cPanel and look for the group "Preinstalled Scripts." Now select the CGI Center and you will see the complete list of preinstalled scripts at your disposal. CGI Email and FormMail Clone would be two examples. We have Tutorial section where members have posted guides and how to's regarding these and other FORMMAIL. Please use this key word to search the forum.

Please wait until your hosting application is approve BEFORE you try to activate hosting process. Do you own corzendesign.com? Otherwise you have to apply for Xisto's subdomain. For example, yourName.trap17.com Edit: Moving from General Talk to Questions & Queries.

Usually you have to backup your forum (any type) and upload to your another forum host. This is the best and easiest way. Most of free forum servers will not provide this option. Hence, it's free. They make ad money off of your forum (and visitor numbers) while in return you get to have free place to open up a forum. What I would do is contact the owner/manager of your free forum host and ask them if there's a way to backup your database. And when that's possible, you can upload that database to your next forum host and you should have everything there. I'm moving this topic to Hosted Members Area
