We use Google Apps. I get the error: "Error sending email: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host." I also submitted a trouble ticket for this with no response. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19472 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:14:42 +0000 yuniar 19472@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you are using v2.4, you can configure the SMTP settings by editing the config.php file </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19466 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:45:58 +0000 nwcp 19466@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am running 2.4 now. I go to index.php and login, and the only tabs I have across the top are "Manage Forms" and "Logout." </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19439 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 16:06:38 +0000 AMurray 19439@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You should have the settings tab - the main menu across the top of the Admin screen, contains:</p> <p> Manage Forms<br /> Edit Themes<br /> Users<br /> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <strong> Settings</strong> &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;<br /> My Account<br /> Help<br /> Sign Out</p> <p>In the settings page (when you get to it) in the blue pane is "Use SMTP Server to Send Emails" Click the check-box, the panel expands to reveal the mail server options etc. (mail server name, your user name, password (for authentication against the mail server for outgoing e-mail). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19436 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:14:18 +0000 nwcp 19436@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>So I followed the update steps and it seems to be working. At least the PHP error is gone. But it is still not sending e-mails. Since I don't have a settings tab, where would I go to check those settings? Also, is there an error log for the mailing feature? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19330 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 07:43:18 +0000 yuniar 19330@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes, that is correct. Simply update the files, make sure not to overwrite your data folder and the config.php file </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19299 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:00:37 +0000 nwcp 19299@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>So just FTP into the server and overwrite the files? excluding config.php and the data folder, obviously. I am noticing that the data folder from the zip I downloaded only contains the .htaccess file and that there is no config.php, though there is a config-empty.php. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19292 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:07:20 +0000 yuniar 19292@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>If you are updating to v2.4 -- simply update your files (excluding the config.php and "data" folder).</p> <p>If you are updating to v3.5, follow this step:<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/upgrading-machform" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/upgrading-machform</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19279 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 03:04:21 +0000 nwcp 19279@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>OK, so I see where to download 2.4. Is there an upgrade procedure? Also, what would be involved in upgrading to 3.5? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19054 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 16:45:02 +0000 yuniar 19054@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>nwcp -- You'll need to update your machform to at least v2.4. If possible, I suggest to update to v3.5 </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19042 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 03:06:22 +0000 Steve1951 19042@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>It sounds as if your hosting provider has upgraded to PHP version 5.3. The function split() has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. I know this does not solve your problem but it may give you an idea why you are receiving this message. Hopefully Yuniar can give you a work-around. If you're running an older version of Machform, then possibly the mailer library has been updated in a newer version. I'm running version 3.4 and 3.5 with PHP 5.3.x and I'm having no problems. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/error-when-submitting-forms#post-19039 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:42:28 +0000 nwcp 19039@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have had machform running successfully for quite a while. Recently I have been getting the following error: "Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/nwcp/public_html/machform/lib/class.phpmailer.php on line 469" The error pops up when submitting the form, but the record is still kept in the database. The form is also supposed to e-mail to people when submitted and that is not happening any more either. </p>
