I got the phpbb going but I get this error



Could not connect to smtp host : 10060 : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

DEBUG MODE

Line : 112
File : smtp.php




I know it has something to do with emailing but I don't know how to fix it and it does not happen on all reply to a post just some

The SMTP server you are trying to use is not fully responsive so you should find one thats more reliable, or try using your own and using the one you're currently using as the relayer.

(You wont be able to run your own mail server on a broadband connection, it can only be a relayer.)

You need to get hMailServer and in the SMTP setting, set up another host to send the mail through. I had to do this when I ran it at home because mail would never get sent otherwise. It went through my ISP's mail server.

I got it but I can't get it to work do I have to have my own domain name to make this work?

I might be in over my head on this one :?

But I should be happy I got the WWWBOARD going with Abyss

You should just be able to enter an IP in the domain area but idealy a domain would work better.

The e-mail would be something@yourip if you use your ip.

You need to put in your username and password as well then, eg, a username and password you have made an email address for.

So it would be something@yourip for your username and then your password.

As an alternative, you could also use your ISP's SMTP servers to send messages. Contact them for your SMTP server, username, and password information, and enter them in the corresponding fields in the phpBB Admin Control Panel.
