CouchCMS • View topic - Tutorial Contact Form Not Working

by atenhotep » Mon Dec 15, 2014 10:11 am

Hi,

I've spent a lot of time lookin g through the forum for a solution, and at my code hoping to catch something silly.

I think CouchCMS is brilliant and am wanting to use it for my next project. I could easily work around the form
issue I am having, but would love to do it the Couch way.

Here's the code I have from going through the tutorial for contact.php. I have included the whole file in case there
is something other than in the form part that could be affecting it. The form part is colored for easier visibility if
that is where you want to focus. I am sorry that changing color partially in a BBCode code block didn't work.

I have debugged by testing the sending of email successfully in this template. As well as seen the CMS correctly send email for a forgotten password. I do see an error in my Nginx logs saying it can't find send_email.php, however, I can 't find any reference to send_email.php in the sources. He'res the log entry:

2014/12/14 23:04:59 [error] 15635#0: *725 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /usr/share/nginx/www/send_email.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "POST /send_email.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "localhost", referrer: "http://localhost/contact.php"

I couldn't find an Nginx config file example for CouchCMS, but I am using a simple, possibly even the default, debian nginx config file. Here's the server entry:

server {
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.php;

# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;

autoindex off;

# rewrite to front controller as default rule
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

# Only for nginx-naxsi used with nginx-naxsi-ui : process denied requests
#location /RequestDenied {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
#}

#error_page 404 /404.html;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
#error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
#location = /50x.html {
# root /usr/share/nginx/www;
#}

# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini

# With php5-cgi alone:
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}

Any insights into what the issue might be are greatly appreciated.
