frontpage error

G

I can't get my form to work....when I click on submit, you see the following:
FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.


Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excuse my ignorance, but where is the server's application event log?
I am using frontpage 2003, and fpse are installed. I asked my host to
enable email, but they said the problem was with frontpage, not with them. I
even tried changing the form properties to _feedback.txt and saved a file
under _private/feedback.txt and this is where I am now. And the email the
form results are being sent to is an AOL address...should I be using
(e-mail address removed)?? And if so, where would these emails be
found...which file, or do I have to set one up to receive them, if so, how??
Thanks for all your suggestions!!

Rather than trying to troubleshoot it..it's such a small form, just redo it.
And, you are Publishing the website via File | Publish Site then
http://www.lifun4kidswhatever.com right? Just delete the form area from the
page and start over.

Don't send the form results to an AOL address - AOL has a reputation for
blocking emailed results from web servers.

Is the email transport enabled on your extensions? Your host will have to
answer that.

Hope someone answers the orginal issue, I'm experiecing the same problem when
I attempt to submit form results, tried all the work arounds but still:
"FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more
details."

Contact your host and ask them what the server's application event log says.

Hi...yes, I am publishing to http:// I tried deleting the form and saving,
then inserting new form and saving then publishing and still not working. I
spoke to my host and they said email transport is enabled and walked me
through how to open account for (e-mail address removed) for submissions
from the form. He checked the event log and can't figure out what is
wrong...but says it is something with the hosting...he will get back to me in
24 hours with hopefully good news.
Thanks again for everyone's help...will let you know the outcome!!

I spoke with my host and set up the webmaster email account...now I am
receiving emails through the form, but am still getting the frontpage error
message, not a confirmation that frontpage should automatically (supposedly)
send (is there a way to point the page to another page on my site, like a
thank you page?)....the host says it's a problem with them, and they are
working on it to figure out just what the problem is. Sound right??

You can specify a thank you or confirmation page in the form properties.
Make sure the page exists, and browse to it from the form property sheet,
so the path is correct.

Thanks Ron, I see the confirmation page was automatically set to go to my
contact page, and once my host figures out the problem with the error
message, it will point to my contact page again....thanks again......

If the contact page is the page with the form, this will always result in
an error, since the extensions will attempt to submit the form again, and
again, and again, ad nauseaum. Change the confirmation page to some other
page. If the contact page is not the form page - there should not be a
problem.

You are a genius!! Thank you...no more frontpage error!!!!!!! (still waiting
to hear from my host server!!)
Until next time-------thanks again!!!!!!

hope this helps.....Ronx this problem for me, just do the following and
hopefully yours will work too:
If the contact page is the page with the form, this will always result in
an error, since the extensions will attempt to submit the form again, and
again, and again, ad nauseaum. Change the confirmation page to some other
page. If the contact page is not the form page - there should not be a
problem. (Ronx)

I bet your host will never figure it out...:)
