Background
I want to allow my users to submit a crash report which will get emailed to me.
I'm using UKCrashReporter with the bundled PHP script I've modified. This code does a POST to a specified URL along with the crash report.
I'm on a shared server running Linux. My main domain is synapticmishap.co.uk.
The Problem
When I send the crash report off, on
the Cocoa side, it reports as having
sent it successfully, but I don't
receive an email.
The code has been used in lots of
other well established Cocoa projects
and it was working for me a few
months ago.
That leads me to conclude that the
problems are related to my web server
setup, something I know almost
nothing about.
When I look at my log files, I see
entries like this:
IP Redacted - - [10/Jun/2010:09:47:53 +0100] "POST /synapticmishap/crashreportform.php HTTP/1.1" 403 74 "-" "UKCrashReporter"
What I've tried
I've tried accessing the page at http://synapticmishap.co.uk/synapticmishap/crashreportform.php via a browser. It loads fine.
I've made sure the permissions on this php script are set so anyone can execute it.
I've tried removing the deny entries from the section of .
htaccess at various levels starting with root.
I've downloaded the URLParams plugin for Firefox which allows you to simulate POSTs. I put in the URL above and tried a post with "crashlog" as the parameter and "test" as the value. This generated a 200 log entry in my log file - it seemed to work, although no mail message was sent.
Code
I've got the following at http://synapticmishap.co.uk/synapticmishap/crashreportform.php. I've simplified it to just the bare bones in an effort to get it working.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

?>

This is my top level .

Help!
I'm at the end of my tether with this and I'm in a very unfamiliar space with all this web stuff. I'd be most appreciative of any thoughts people had on why this isn't working. Thanks.
