    Hi All Have been getting frustrated as my php email function on my server is working and I can't use registration verification or lost password retrieval or invite friends. When any of the above functions are completed a message appears stating...

      That was a problem for me as well. I'm using xampp on a WinXP machine.

      Check your xampp/php/php.ini file and configure the following settings:

      SMTP

      smtp_port (usually 25)

      sendmail_from

      It would also help to get the uservalidation plugin, though I think it has problems with Elgg 1.7 right now.

    • Thanks all

      Thank you for the reply kevin. I had tried Mercury Mail but it didn't work for me, maybe i did not configured it well but I already had my solution for my problem.. I figured out that to be able to send emails I need to have and smtp server and I got one that is free (gmail smtp server). Like Altealice said i change the configuration in the php.ini and used the phpmailer plugin and it works! :D

       

      @Altealice

      Thank you. :) but I used the phpmailer plugin, it works fine in elgg 1.6.1 and yes  I change the configuration in my php.ini.

    Thanks Kevin Checked the server and it seemed to be functioning fine. Is there a on/off function to disable the email verification function? view reply

    Hi All Installed Elgg and all was good. email verifications were being sent out with no problems. However after having to do a reinstall (server issues) the email verification and lost password emails are not being sent to my test accounts. Any...

      Thanks

       

    • No, for on/off.

      Elgg by default uses the standard PHP mail function. What that function does depends upon your server configuration.

      If you are having email problems, you should check with your hosting provider.

    • Kevin back to you,

      Spoken to hosting company and the sendmail function in php in enabled and working. I have tried a number of things, it seems that the sendmail for account verification and lost password is not working at all. have tried different accounts etc..

       

      I know when using phpbb, moodle or other php base webtools that there is an area to input the mail server information this I can't find on elgg. As it was working initially, I have done a reinstall and can only think that the issue was in the database which is still from the oringinal installation.

       

      Ideas?
