Hi guys!

I’m using the latest version of Rapidweaver 6 and I am having a terrible time trying to get the Contact Form to work.  
I searched through all the forums and checked all my settings.

PHP is enabled on the server end, I think it has something to do with the way Rapidweaver is compiling the site.

Prior to this problem I was unable to get anything to show up on the web after exporting the site, I did a search and found this here:

**Quit RapidWeaver 6 before opening the Terminal app. If RapidWeaver 6 is located at /Applications/RapidWeaver 6.app then copy-paste the following command in its entirety and hit the Return-key.**

**xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/RapidWeaver\ 6.app/Contents/Frameworks/RMSnapKit.framework/Versions/A/Support/com.realmacsoftware.rmsnapkit.websnapper**  
**We’ve filed a bug with Apple about this: it appears that, when RapidWeaver is decompressed the Gatekeeper system doesn’t correctly unblock all the components in RapidWeaver.**

I did as it suggested and now I’m able to get almost everything going, except email.

Help!!!

Two little things jump out at me here, norman:

> I was unable to get anything to show up on the web after **exporting** the site,

There is an additional step necessary - actually to Publish your project; could that have been the missing step?

Then, the _xattr_ command which you entered at the command line (Terminal) probably has nothing to do with the functioning of _RW_; more with installation of the software.

Are you using the built-in Contact form?

Do you get any errors when **[publishing](http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/200167091-Publish-Your-Website)**?

Oops, yes sorry, I should have said that I am publishing the site.  
I am using Cyberduck and directly placing the files on my server via FTP.  
I tried using the publishing option in RW but it just hangs forever.

I get no errors after placing the site on the server other than the server error. It’s crazy, the contact form has worked perfectly up until now.

And yes, I am using the built-in contact form.

Thanks for your reply!

Also, I just tried publishing again via RW Publish feature and it worked fine. Still, the contact page shows up but when I click on it I get a Server error.

Man, what a bummer, this used to be such an easy to use program… :[

Hello,

I got the following:

**The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.**

**Please contact the server administrator, [webmaster@brianwrentattoo.com](mailto:webmaster@brianwrentattoo.com) and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.**

**More information about this error may be available in the server error log.**

**Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.**

I even tried publishing a site that is currently running and has working email.

I don’t understand…

Successive versions of _RW_ seem to be making the publishing experience increasingly reliable; IOW some users have had [problems](http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/200456992-Common-fixes-for-Publishing-FTP-issues). Are you using 6.6.4?

I’d stick to _RW_’s built-in publish routine rather than ftp-ing to the server.

Have you tried adding a brand new Contact page with a different (and so ‘untainted’) name like secondcontact.php, making sure that it has the .php extension and republishing, having gone through [all the settings](http://help.realmacsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/200161172-Contact-Form) one by one?

No, I’m using 6.3.4. I did not know about 6.6.4, thanks!

I will try making a second contact page s you suggested, clever idea.

Thanks!

Typo, of course; Yes 6.3.4 is the latest. Sorry…

Let us know how your test duplicate goes.

For me, this does not sound like a RW problem. Check the PHP log -\> hoster.
