Hello Leopold
Can your try to configure simple PHP mailer
If you configure this directory on your web server
you can check after a new test if in this directory you have not an email_log.txt file with some errors.
Here a simple external tool to test if email sending is OK via PHP mailer. If OK you can configure it into WSX5
Enjoy!

Hello Leopold,
The generic error is almost certainly connected with the display of PHP notices on your website. I see that these are still active.
Unfortunately it will be necessary to switch these off completely on your server to allow the script to continue to run. What type of hosting are you using, and what have you tried so far when you say that you have attempted to suppress the errors but without success?
Also, I notice that your WebSite Address (URL) is not set correctly in Step 5 of WebSite X5. This can also cause certain problems. Try to set it exactly as below, and then make a fresh upload to your server:
Kind regards,
Paul
Search the WebSite X5 Help Center
As an alternative (and hopefully short term) workaround, rolling back to PHP 7.3 or earlier might allow you to progress in the meantime.
