New to ELGG

Hi, I install ELGG 1.8.3 on my CentOS 6.2.

Everything is working fine but I am not able to get email notifications. Please help.

 

Thanks,


Rapid

  • EMail Notifications not going out -- Could be caused by many issues ;)

    For CentOS/Plesk - make sure that the Elgg defined Admin EMail address has been declared inside the Plesk EMail management areas - Check with your TechSupport for details on this.

    Search for the other EMail Issues Topics here @Elgg - and I thik that there is also some Wiki Docs (http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Main_Page) for that...

     

  • I am using CentOS 6.1 without Plesk. And my server is using Postfix as SMTP. I can send email from localhost to any email. Does it relate to php.ini? or any file setting in engine/mod/notifications?

  • 1) if not plesk - then what control panel ?
    2) didya ask yr tech supp ?
    3) usually hosting tech supp are kinda good for techie quesnx
    4) 'postfix' for server does not matter - pretty std stuff
    5) php.ini - shud not play part - unless u r @ dedicated server - then *maybe needs checking
    6) engine/mod/notificnx - code in there does not relate to email issues
    7) didya find that wikiartciel on elgg emails ?

  • i have no technician. I am set up server on my own.

    i got this error message on apache

     PHP Warning:  date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Asia/Bangkok' for 'ICT/7.0/no DST' instead in /var/www/html/community/engine/handlers/cache_handler.php on line 83, referer: http://community.puthisastra.edu.kh/

  • On /var/log/mail

    Apr  6 17:31:51 srv postfix/sendmail[24613]: fatal: chdir /var/spool/postfix: Permission denied

  • you did not answer / address any of the five points the questions above ;-) --> how can we help in more details... ?

    - 'timezone issue' - just google for the php-oriented solutions, there's plenty many answers available there already, esp in the php reference itself.
    - linux user who / that is executing the postfix process does not have permission for.. /var/spool/postfix ! ;-P gotta allow that..

    2) didya ask yr tech supp ?

    I am the one who manage the server.
    3) usually hosting tech supp are kinda good for techie quesnx. I am the one who manage the server.
    4) 'postfix' for server does not matter - pretty std stuff. Yes
    5) php.ini - shud not play part - unless u r @ dedicated server - then *maybe needs checking

    I managed to modify php.ini according to different timezone.
    6) engine/mod/notificnx - code in there does not relate to email issues

    I dont know about this issue
    7) didya find that wikiartciel on elgg emails ?

    I spent alot of days to look of document fix on this. but i couldnot

    regarding your last reply,i already fix timezone different. but still have problem on postfix relay.

  • Is your sendmail server working properly, Rapid?
    Are the outgoing conncetions working?

     

    Tried any other application for sending mails?
