I have now got around to this and copied the file to the server but the form isn't sending email. I am confident the details are OK. Should I have to reload the machform folder and do a fresh install running the installer.php with the updated config.php file or will copying it to the server be fine? If I have to do a full fresh install can I back up my form?</p> <p>Just trying to work out where the problem might be. I've seen a few posts about this but the fix always seem to get done outside of the forum.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
