"MySQL Database Problems"

Has anyone else been experiencing problems with your SQL databases? i.e. they aren't responding?

We got it working but had to further modify the code. Thanks for the help!

Excellent, cheers. I'll pass this on and get back to you with the results.

You need to change the code to follow the format outlined in the support pages.
Your code:
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers)

should be changed to:

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, 'From: [email protected]', '-f [email protected]');
where [email protected] is a Freeola hosted email address.

So that whole section of code could be changed to:

$message = "You received this e-mail message through your website: \n\n";
foreach($c as $key => $val){
$message .= ucwords($key).": $val\n";
}
$message .= "IP: "'.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'" \n";
$message .= "Browser: "'.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$headers = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: "'.$c['email'].'" . "\r\n";

$recipient = "[email protected]";
if(mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers,'-f [email protected]')){
echo "Your mail was successfully sent.";
}


I have stripped out the check for a Windows server as all Freeola servers are Unix based.
Give that a try!

This is the part of code I was told by my programmer to show you:

"Automatic Form Email"; $message = "You received this e-mail message through your website: \n\n"; foreach ($c as $key => $val) { $message .= ucwords($key) . ": $val \n"; } $message .= "IP: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']} \n"; $message .= "Browser: {$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']}"; if (strstr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "Win")) { $headers = "From: [email protected] \n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: {$c['email']}"; } else { $headers = "From: Slick Studio \n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: {$c['email']}"; } $recipient = "[email protected]"; if (mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$headers)) { echo "
Your mail was successfully sent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Would you like to post the relevant snippet of your code to see if one of our Systems guys can identify the problem?

I'm trying to set up a very straight forward form that works on any other server but Freeola blocks. Just a simple enquiry form where the user gives a few details and submits, but Freeola seem to block the emailed details from getting to my inbox in case the email is spam or something. This is using a Freeola email address too. Very frustrating considering I paid more for the privilege.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you still experiencing any problems? We beleive a couple of users were using queries that were putting unreasonable load on the server and the service should have been restored to normal levels yesterday.

Please let me know if you experience any further problems.

2 days now and still down.

This is pathetic.

Yes it does say they're aware of it.

I'm not happy, I pay for my Freeola (which, ironically, works out about 3 times more expensive than other hosts)

I'm disgusted with the service so far (it's not just this, I've had loads of thnigs go wrong and I've also got charged TWICE this month for this poor service)

If this MySQL problem isn't sorted then I'm demanding my money back.

I've been having problems with slow scripts causing errors/timouts since about 1am this morning. Freeola does have a small notice about their MySQL server running slowly. I hope they get it sorted soon.
