Title: NON-Webaccessable.....Email Problem...Please Help!
Post by melvnatic on 04/18/06 at 03:19:53

I have several problems (the first being, I can't send emails so nobody can sign up)

# The Path to a 'NON-WEBACCESSABLE' directory of your system
# Maybe you have to chmode it if you use your own setting

$config{'get_path'} = 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'basepath'} = 'what goes here? If you want the directory to be at www.domain.com/test, do you put /test? ';

Also:

Can somebody give me help on setting up this part?

# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'mailprog'} = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
#$config{'mailhost'} = 'smtp.gmail.com';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1; <<What is this???

Sorry :) I'm a bit slow. Thank you for your help, and good script!

Edit: Two more problems, sorry :)

When I try to log in, i get this error:

Error
Regfile: Melvnatic
could not be opened

and secondly, i'm not sure how to delete the test items. I tried, but then I got an "Internal error" message.

PS.
Am I allowed to delete the banner ads?

Thanks for all the help!

As long as you set $config{'get_path'} = 1 so long the automated path-detection is activ.

You should ask your provider for the path to sendmail.
If you want to use the SMTP server, you have to write it this way:

$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
#$config{'mailprog'} = '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://smtp.gmail.com';

I'm having the same problem. What's going on? oh--how do I delete user registrations?

Regarding:Error

could not be opened
That is because the user registration file for Melvnatic located in the "userreg" directory is missing or for some reason is not accessible by the script.

Regarding:i'm not sure how to delete the test items
The test items delete themselves. Try reloading your browser.

mars

Very right mars ...
and the file is missing because his 'sendmail' doesn't work and so the pre-registration couldn't be confirmed via email.

I am sure the explanations above are quite clear, however, I am definitely missing something or am confusing myself with my installation of EA 1.53

Here's what I have that is not working. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to make my eA 1.6.1 e-mail config work?

$config{'get_mail'} = 0; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting
$config{'smtp_addr'} = '127.0.0.1'; # /usr/sbin/sendmail'; # no additional options please

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
# $config{'mailhost'} = 'http://YourSMTP-Host';
$config{'mailhost'} = 'http://mail.gardenhere.com';
# $config{'mailhost'} = '127.0.0.1';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 0;

First of all ...
the script you use is not EA 1.53 - it is eAuction 1.6.1.x ;)

$config{'web_server'} = 0;

That's incorrect ...
what do you want to use?
the program 'sendmail' or a mailhost?

P.S.
the variable $config{'smtp_addr'} is not a part of eAuction.
