Important Information on forms hosted...

I am not sure if this a global issue yet or just a random one. Godaddy has apparently made some changes to the way they allow email through PHP to be sent. If you do not customize your SMTP settings, your forms may display the error "Your form could not be submitted for the following reason(s):"

To correct this, you need to manually adjust your SMTP settings. You can find instructions here at
http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … m-builder/

At the bottom of that article, you will see a configuration specifically for Godaddy. Once you make that change, you can copy the user.cfg.php to all your form folders and it will correct this issue.

If you find that some of your forms still work, these changes will not have any impact on those forms, so you may want to still do it just to be safe.

It should be in the same folder that your formname.html is in.
So it would be formname/user.cfg.php
or right after export
formname_exported/formname/user.cfg.php
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have a Linux hosting plan with godaddy and the default seettings worked with one caveat. I could not send to my own domain! I could send email to every domain but the one I had the form posted on. I had to call godaddy and they had to change a server setting to fix it. Something to do with the different levels of the email accounts in the main account and the cpanel. It required no changes to the forms and associated files.

Hi Brenda,

This is very important, Ask them to enable PHP sessions. If this is not enabled for your account the webform will not work.
