   Hi. I have purchased Machform before, but was unable to use as I had expected. However, now I am redesigning a site for an organization that machform will work perfectly for - Ineo Bible Church (ineobible.org), so I have re-purchased this great software. They are hosted on Powweb.com. Last time I had to get you to go in a fix something. Machform installed fine. I was able to get to the longin page, but once I attempted to login, it seems to approve the login but it does not progress to the form builder section. I believe it is a sessions problem. If you remember what you did last time, I would love for you to teach me.

   Hi Andrew,

   Thanks for purchasing MachForm. I've reactivated your previous account, make sure to download the latest version (or just download from the latest link sent to you by share-it).

   Yes, there were some session issue need to be adjusted for site hosted on Powweb.com
   Basically powweb set the session folder path to /var/php_sessions which is somehow not writable, so any PHP scripts which use session won't work.

   To solve this, you will need to create a new folder under your document root and set the permission into writable. Then you can do one of the following:

   1) Edit your php.ini file, set the session.save_path to point to your new session folder

   2) Edit MachForm's config.php file, add this code:

   session_save_path("/home/users/web/b1563/pow.mydomain/phpsess");
   
   the path above is just a sample.

   That should fix the session problem.

   I found the above solutions from Powweb forum, here is the link:

   THANK YOU SO MUCH!
   I followed your intructions to adjust the phh.ini file. I was a little scared to get in and mess with your coding. I have a grasp of php, but I am definitely no expert. I adjusted the session.save_path = /home/... to a writable folder in my cgi-bin. I was then able to log in perfectly fine. It said, "You have no form yet. Go create one!"

   Thanks again.

   I have the same problem. After three weeks my reg'ed Machform will not let me log on. My host is Ipower. If it is a host problem why would the problem start only after three weeks of working great?
   Can you please logon to my host and fix my problem?

   Thank

    If you have plesk, login, click your domain, go to "Web hosting settings" under "PHP support" make sure that php is running under the "Apache Module". I had to do this with my VPS godaddy account. I am now able to login.

    Depends on where you installed MachForm, you should be able to access it using URL similar as this:
    http://www.example.com/machform/

    OK. I am having the same issue. uploaded and edited the config file, the very first login with the default "machform" password, does not work.
    I did make it in the past, I don't know how, but it was also rusty.
    My server is hosted on iPage. How can I sort this thing?

    Thanks
