Forms do not work on subdomains

[msimonov]

I am using fp 2002 and publish my sites on go daddy with the extensions
installed. I publish several subdomains under my main domain of
www.mslwebdesign.com by entering a directory path at go daddy and then
publishing the subdomains there.. so for example www.pgshybrids.com publishes
to http://www.mslwebdesign.com/pgshybrids Everything works fine except
forms do not work on the subdomains..for example www.pgshybrids.com is a
subdomain under www.mslwebdesign.com and If you go to
www.pgshybrids.com/test.htm their is a test form and if you type in the field
and then submit you get an error mesage that says HTTP 404 page cannot be
found...however if you go to www.mslwebdesign.com/pgshybrids/test.htm and do
the same thing the form works fine.....I have this set up to save to the
default folder that comes up and also to send an email....all I really need
is for the form to be emailed...I have tried everything and cannot get the
form to work by just typing in the subdomain site address of
www.pgshybrids.com/test.htm I have tried setting it up to not save the
results but just email and I get the same error message, please feel free to
try the form it is only a test form...Again I just really need the form to be
emailed..Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

Keep in mind, those are not subdomains. Those are completely seperate
domains mapped onto the subwebs of the primary domain. What you're doing is
actually just confusing the heck out of the extensions. The extension are
bound to the web server instance that is www.mlswebdesign.com. The domain
name www.pgshybirds.com is simply mapped onto a subdirectory of
mlswebdesign.com. The FP Server extensions though, are expecting to be in a
subdirectory of mlswebdesign.com and are suddenly finding themselves at a
root domain level unexpectedly.

In other words, you won't get the extensions to work in this configuration
since you are trying to map what should be a subdirectory onto what ends up
a root level directory. The extensions just won't function in this scenario.

Mark,
I figured out a way to make it work.....by putting a form on the main msl
webdesign site and then putting a form on the pgs hybrids site the form on
PGS hybrids works just fine......somehow by creating any old form on a page
