New user registeration email

When a new user registers, he gets following in the email and nothing else

; charset=""
  • I have installed the latest version of elgg 1.11.2, without any external plugins and the user doesnt receive any validation email upon registering.
    Problem where user receives charset="" in email was with previous version of elgg i.e 1.11.1, but with 1.11.2 nothing is received, no email at all.

  • I followed the procedure mentioned in : http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Missing_emails  and got following message, and email was not received in my inbox.

    Attempting to email myemailaddress@gmail.com...
    SUCCESS! PHP successfully delivered email to your MTA. If you don't see the email in your inbox in a few minutes, there is a problem with your MTA.

    So that means that problem lies with my hosting server I guess...

  • Have or put in your php.ini file.

     

    ; PHP's built-in default is text/html
    default_mimetype = "text/html"
    default_charset = "UTF-8"

  • Doesn't it get added automatically upon new installation. Or do we need at add it manually/separately?

  • No it doesn't. It fixed the problem I had with registration emails not be received.

  • Ok. thanks for the help...

    My issue was with the hosting server, as it didn't allow email sending feature on free account........ So I upgraded my account to premium one and it got resolved now.
