First of all, you are not reusing your variable $from anywhere in your code. This isn't the cause of the error, but just setting a variable and then forgetting it wastes memory.

The error may come from this line of your code
$headers .= "Computerman Site";

"Computerman Site" is NOT a valid message header. It should look like "From: email@ddress.example.com" or "From: Someone's website <someone@example.net>". You must provide an e-mail address if you add the From field.

You only get a Server Error when your .htaccess and/or your RewriteRule are not written properly.

If you only get a 404 error, then it means that your rules can be parsed, but that the address you requested does not match any rewrite instruction (or existing file, of course).

everything (including system.freepgs.com) is hosted on the new dell server *except* this forum and the accounts hosted on plesk, who are logically hosted on the plesk server.

plesk is the tool used to manage your hosting features (mail, subdomains, files, logs...). it is unlikely that you will find what  you are looking for there.

you should try this (from lvcs.net support page) :

To change the name servers for your domain

Step 1: Log in to the LVCS.NET Account Manager.
Step 2: Select Manage Domains from the Domain Names dropdown menu or the Manage Your Account list.
Step 3: Select the domain name you wish to modify using the checkboxes and then click Set Name Servers.
Step 4: Enter your updated name server information in the spaces provided under the blue Name Servers heading on the right side of your page and click Save Changes at the bottom.

As the admin said, your nameservers should be plsk1.lvcs.net and plsk2.lvcs.net

you must do this at the level of the company where you purchased your domain name

visit their website. usually there is some kind of customer area where you can change your domain settings

In PHP, dirname(__FILE__) will return the directory where the current script is located.

For instance, if /fpgs/fpgshttpd/username/phpscript.php is running, it will return /fpgs/fpgshttpd/username/

WARNING : This command respects 'includes' and 'requires'. For instance, if you included /fpgs/fpgshttpd/username/a/script.php inside /fpgs/fpgshttpd/username/b/script.php, then the command would return /fpgs/fpgshttpd/username/a/

There are no BASE_URL and BASE_DIR commands in PHP.

I believe that the path you set in the mambo configuration might be incorrect.

/drive2/fpgshttpd/[username]/ seems to be the path on the previous server. I would recommend you to try this path instead : /fpgs/fpgshttpd/bernschneider/

your domain is correctly pointed to the plesk server.

i would recommend you to check your dns settings in plesk. you might have accidentally switched your domain from master to slave

I am not an expert of mod_rewrite, however I can tell you that the cause of the problem is in your .htaccess because mod_rewrite works perfectly well on freepgs.com and the temporary plesk server.

I think you can get an e-mail address using the contact form.

However, yes it is possible to have your e-mail hosted elsewhere *if you have a domain*.
Just add a mail exchanger (MX) entry in your DNS record (you can do this at the level of your domain provider).

Actually, my domain is still using plesk (and will probably stay this way until you ask me to switch). However, I would like to redirect people from my Freepgs.com URL (freepgs.com/enviroeeil) to my domain, so I created a .htaccess file and I uploaded it to ftp.freepgs.com.

My question is : will it cause a problem (or does it disturb you) if I place files in both locations (all my site in plesk and a .htaccess on freepgs.com)?

the mail function works fine...

unless you have a domain, i believe you will have to wait until the main service returns to operation.

if you had a domain, post in the Reinstantement Requests Forums (http://forum.freepgs.com/?board=2.0)
elsewhere, you will need to wait a bit (around 1 or 2 weeks, I think)

if it is urgent, then PM the admin.

I had a Freeplus accnt with a domain and it works now, so I guess that all accounts (paid/non-paid) will be recreated.

all accounts should be recreated when the new server will be up in a few weeks
