A client site of mine that makes judicious use of EasiForm has suddenly become unreliable. Last week, the forms started taking a few hours to go through. Now, they are not going through at all. I should say things were working for 9 months or so.
Is there anyone who is successfully using EasiForm with GoDaddy that would mind helping me out with their settings?
To get the site to work properly in the beginning, I had to step the client down to PHP4. Ideally, I’d like to go back to PHP5. I’m open to any and all suggestions.
Up to no I have heard of no issues with Go Daddy and easiForm! Worked
both with PHP4 and 5 on their servers.
There is one setting in easiForm that sometimes stops a message from
being sent, when the -f parameter setting is used and it does not
suite the server setting then it should let you know by showing an
alert although I have found on on some servers it does not show the
alert and the email appears to go through… but it does not. I have
just used one of your forms and all goes as expected even taking you
to the success page which can ‘in principal’ only happen if the email
was confirmed as having been sent. As an option you might try
expanding the easiForm to ‘Advanced’ and then selecting between the
option to use the ‘-f parameter’ and to not, some servers will require
this and others will not and even not, although I might suggest
contacting their support first and asking what they have changed that
affects using php’s mail as you have had forms on their servers that
are now not working. You should explain the version of PHP you are
using at the same time. If it started to take a while for the emails
to come through a week ago and then stop coming through then it seems
they have maybe altered something or having some issues. Just make
sure you explain the fact that everything worked up to last week when
emails started to take a few hours to come through then eventually no
come through at all.
Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for the quick response, Mike. I’m 99% certain that GoDaddy changed something. What, I don’t know. I was kind of hoping that someone out there might be using EasiForm with GoDaddy, and might let me have a look and copy their settings. That would be much appreciated.
I finally gave up on trying to get GoDaddy to work. So I switched over to ineedwebhosting micro hosting package. Not sure what it will cost in dollars, but for 15 quid, that’s ridiculously cheap – even with the dollar in the toilet.
As to the forms, they work instantaneously with no fussing with php.ini files, wondering what version to type in the code, or uploading ioncube. It just works.
Big hats off to ineedwebhosting.co.uk. It’s hosting as easy as Freeway. I won’t be hosting with GoDaddy anymore!
