|
|
I've installed PHP Nuke, and everything seemed fine....until i got my first member to try to register....It tries to send out an E-mail with their password. Problem being, it doesn't actually send anything. Anything you guys know of that would fix this?
(yes I know it's not a fault with your server, but i figured you'ld know of a possible work-around)
Thank you for any assistance. |

Open your php.ini file with notepad, ifnd the rule SMTP server (or at least something with SMTP in it :P) then change that rule to your pop3 server, like pop3.shithost.com or something. Then the rule underneath that there´s the sendfrom email, chang ethat one to your email addy at your provider.
done :-) _________________ !Keys || MwM^computerware |

or install a mail server on your pc, and specify that setting to localhost.
I recommend http://www.argosoft.com 's mail server....its great, and free. |

Bluedog,
Would you mind sharing your setup info on ArGoSoft's Mail Server??? I'm kinda fuzzy about how to set it up on my Windows 98 SE computer.
I would really appreciate it. :)
I'm using No-IP.com's free Dynamic DNS service, and I use Earthlink DSL as my ISP.

sure, umm..what bits do you want to know?
set localhost to yourname.no-ip.com
I disabled finger server as its obselete now, and can pose a security threat.
what other parameters do you need help with? It's pretty simple to use once you get used to it.. |

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.
I've decided not to install a mail server on my PC. After much consideration, I don't think Windows 98SE is a safe enough OS on which to host a mail server. Besides, my ISP blocks SMTP on Port 25 anyway, so forgeddaboutit.
I appreciate you offering to help. Many thanks! :) _________________ DLashley |
