When I submit a new form to my server (shared host on Apache), I get a 404
error on this URL:

http://MyDomain.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/FormPage.htm

where FormPage.htm is the FP2000 file containing my form.

When I submit OLD forms that I've used for at least a year (on the same
web), they work fine.

I always publish from FP. Never use FTP client software with this domain.

I've tried:

1. De-activating then re-activating FP extensions on the server (as
suggested by host support).

2. Republishing all files in the web, not just the new ones.

3. Testing with a trivially simple form with one edit box and a submit
button.

These didn't solve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Pete

Ron: In preparing a link for you, I found the problem. So *thank you*!

Here's the details, in case anyone else runs into this.

The problem form page is in a subdomain of my main domain, so the correct
URL for loading the page is:

sub.domain.com/formpage.htm

The same page can be loaded from this URL:

www.domain.com/sub/formpage.htm

The problem with 404 errors on form Submit happens with the second URL, but
not the first. I had switched from the first URL style to the second
without noticing it.

Note: FP extensions are installed on the subdomain, but not the main
domain.

Pete

In your form action
<form style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" name="domainsearch" action="https://secure.registerapi.com/dds2/index.php"
id="domainsearch" method="get">
1) Check that the path is correct
2) Try changing the method from get to post
