css form not working

OK Let me try to explain..

I am creating a contact form using CSS form with Data Bridge, I left the post method as default, click finish, let the form create,

When I click upload (put all dependent files), In my activity log I get this error for Connections, it says ,"Connections - error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem." and everything else uploads.

When I go to test the form I get this error, "Server error, The website encountered an error while retrieving webinquiry.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

So I am lost and a tad bit frustrated with this.. Please help...

Sometimes Dreamweaver's FTP messes up and the error message you receive on the connections file (esepcially in DW CS6) comes up all the time for me. To get around that simply upload the file again on it's own (that always works for me).

The 500 internal server error may be releated to this if your page/form requires the connection file but it's not being uploaded to the server.

when i visit your page, this is the error i see:

  No input file specified.  




this error indicates a problem with the database connection, usually it means that you are trying to connect to a database that does not exist on the MySQL Server..

double check the database connection details to make sure they are correct.

I removed the file.... Can you check it again please , it is up again.... webinquiry.php

Also, I had no problem sending mail with my hosting company... I used UE before databridge and sending mail was never an issue, just FYI...

ok, now when i test your page, I see a blank screen, this indicates that a php error is occurring, but error reporting is turned off.

add the following code at line 1 to turn error reporting on:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL); 
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

can you give more detail please. Are you seeing this error in Dreamweaver?

if you are seeing it in Dreamweaver it is caused by the your site definition.

See the "Defining a Dynamic Site in Dreamweaver" tutorial in the Tutorial and Training section:
