Hello
I am having an issue with the authentication of the new user, I install elgg on my localhost
(using xampp), the probelm is after the first registration I do not recive the authentication mail
and because of that i can`t login to the site afterwords.
I am new with this framework, if anyone can give me some tips or which plugins to install
for better understaning and working with this framework it will be great.
Regards Anton

You must log in to post replies.If you are testing it on xampp, you wont receive a mail unless you configure the mail client. But for the first user (admin), you are registering you dont need to validate the user. You can manually validate the users by login in to admin panel and going to unvalidated users link.
Thanks for your reply, I want to play with it(like adding users,options,menus etc...)
The main goal of mine is to build a site based on elgg, the site will be at other server(not at localhost).
where i need to config the mail client in xampp or in elgg?
mail client is configured on the server itself - so in your case in xampp.
Google it, there's lots of how-to's, though just a heads up - it's quite complicated and even when you succeed it might not work depending on how draconian your ISP is about allowing unauthorized mail servers.
Like matt said, its not worth to configure the mail client in local host. You can search the plugin repo and there are plugins here to bypass the mail validation etc..
