Reinstalling the Default Scripts Directory on Windows Shared Hosting
Print this Article
Comment on this Article
There are two form mailers on Windows shared hosting: gdform.php and webformmailer.asp. Reinstalling updates your hosting account's scripts directory with the latest version of gdform.php.
webformmailer.asp is accessed through a virtual directory and is not updated when you reinstall the scripts directory. You cannot modify webformmailer.asp.
NOTE: As of October 29th, 2008, gdform.asp is no longer offered on Windows shared hosting accounts. Reinstalling default scripts will not remove or modify an existing gdform.asp.
WARNING: gdform.asp cannot be recovered if it is deleted.
To Reinstall the Default Directory to Your Hosting Account
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- From the My Products section, click Web Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
- In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the Form Mail icon.
- Select the Reinstall Default Scripts Directory box.
- Click Continue.
gdform.php will be reinstalled. This process may take up to 15 minutes to complete.
