I've got a site built on 2.3.1. I installed the user defined forms module and created a three field contact form and named it "contact." When I attempt to test the form (I've tried in Draft and Live status) I receive an error.

GET/contact/
Website Error
There has been an error
The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

I haven't a clue about where to go from here to get the form page to work. Any advice?

Thanks!

Turn on devmode so you can see the full error message. Add this to your mysite/_config.php file

Director::set_environment_type("dev");

Now that it's in development mode, this is what it's telling me:

Make sure you are running SIlverStripe 2.3.2 and not anything earlier then this.

I've updated to 2.3.2 but that leads to another issue. When I attempt to login to the admin panel I receive this error message. Any advice? I should probably mention that I've used the automatic install and update available through GoDaddy.com.

try running a database build by putting: /dev/build on the end of your website address and see how you go with that.

I did that right away and received the same error. When I read your note I thought to go back and flush it and all is well now. Thank you both!
