Won't send messages or webpages

[BikerKing]

Tried to find this, but no luck.
Everything was working fine the last I used this program. Now it will not send out messages or webpages. I set it for test message or webpage to me, and it indicates it is "waiting for (my website)", but it never seems to hear back, so just sits there and nothing. Didn't change a think on my end, my web host may have changed servers or updated PHP code since I last used it (about 2 months ago). Here is the info on my installations:

Dada Mail version 4.4.3 stable
OS- Linux
Apache Version- 2.2.22
PHP Version- 5.2.17

Does anyone have any ideas on what to check or do?

[justin]

Anything in Dada Mail's error log?

[BikerKing]

it now says:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

I'll see if I can locate the error log to see what it says.

[BikerKing]

Oh good God! It appears it will take 63 hours to download the error file txt. Sounds like that needs cleaned out or something. Now what should I do? I wasn't having any problems before this.

[justin]

Use the log view plugin, which will show you the last x lines of the file, or ssh in and use, "tail". Don't download the entire error log - that's not a good idea.

You may want to simply *delete* the file and test again - that way you can download the error log, without my other two ideas.

[BikerKing]

Well, I deleted the log file (hope it creates a new one) and now am waiting for the thing to give me an error message again. It just keeps waiting on the page and nothing happens. When and if I get an error message, I will then check to see if a new log file has been created and report what it says.

[BikerKing]

Finally got the error txt file to display after several hangups. Here is what it said with the last error message being repeated hundred's of times after that. Hope you can figure out what is going on here.

All the "_vti_cnf" files/directories should really be removed - using Frontpage at all? It's a good guess that that's mucking with your install.

[BikerKing]

I started out with FP but now use EW. The thing is, this just up and happened after working flawlessly for a couple of years. It is not a new install. I changed nothing on my end, although did have to reinstall FP extensions after the host changed servers.

[BikerKing]

Looks like this may be a stumper. I may have to just end up taking down the people that subscribed, and then delete the application from my server and reinstall an updated version. Hoping that maybe the PHP or server update screwed up the whole thing as it worked before that happened.
