Getting Server Error 500 when submitting Contact Form
News and General
Hey. I am using EE 5.2.1 and am using the EE Contact Form. It is working fine from my local dev server running Apache, and the e-mail works fine from the Control Panel on the hosting server. My hosting server is running Nginx and whenever I submit the contact form I keep getting a Server Error 500. The Nginx logs show the following…I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to find out what is causing this…any help would be greatly appreciated.
“POST / HTTP/1.1” 500 5 “http://www.mysite.com/contact”
Just a follow up….I have also tried this on an Apache Server on the remote hosting and receiving the same 500 Error there
After much pulling my hair out, I found the issue. I am using Google’s reCaptcha for the form and it requires curl which was not installed. Installed php curl and it works perfect now
Glad you got it sorted! When it doubt, best to check your server logs for explanations of 500 errors and they’ll usually point you to the right spot.
Afraid the server logs showed nothing more than what I pasted in the original post. What I eventually did was enable debug in index.php and it showed a call to php curl which was not defined….I worked back from there.
