Email configuration Help-Please
08/31/06 at 03:54:07

Hi there,

I'm having problems with the email configuratin part of the script. When I register for an account it displays the entire email in duplicate directly below this

Quote:

Hello usrname,
you should receive an e-mail to: myemail@mydomain.com
in a few minutes.
It will contain your password needed to post or bid.
You may change your password once you receive it.

If I scroll down on the same page it says this:

Quote:

You are on your local server
so this is just for testing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: myemail@mydomain.com
From: TTrabbitry@tinytotsrabbitry.com
Subject: New User Registration
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL

Thank you for registering to use the online auctions at

Your Alias (as you entered it):

Your Password:

Please, click
Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to Login or Register!!
embership=usrname
in order to activate your account now.

Thank you for visiting.

Can you possibly help me figure out what I'm doing or did wrong?? Huh

Here's a copy of the script as I've changed it:

Quote:

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# 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'} =

'Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to Login or Register!!
';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running

with a real Web-Server
$config{'web_server'} = 1;

It looks like you have "remarked out" your configuration (see the # sign in front of $config below.
Quote:

# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
#$config{'mailhost'} =

'Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to Login or Register!!
';

You could remove the above # sign or first try this configuration and see what happens:

# You need to assign either a mail program or
# a mail host so e-mails can be sent out.
# Configure your MAIL PROGRAM

$config{'get_mail'} = 1; # 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://YourSMTP-Host';

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