Ahh not good! Users can't get their passwords emails won't send...

I am using Linux Berry OS, Xampp and everything works great it's like berry os and This script were ment for each other... right up till I hit the sendmail issue..

I have adjusted my SMTP to all kinds of stuff both local and afar... nuthing... I have put in a seperate SMTP program and still won't send mails... why won't this work?

Does This script not use SMTP? Or...

Whether there is any restrictions for the mail function in PHP?
Mcfee
Not that I am aware of.. if there was what would I look for?
Mcfee
I have sendmail installed and running
I am checking over everything.. my php.ini is set for the directory it's in with the - opts..

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=matrixsubsystems.info, Name=MTA
Auth mehtods = all

Service is running...
But when it comes time for dol to send out a email it says: Email send failed.

Can't I just send emails with out having a email server installed? Or perhaps a mod for dolphin that send emails in a smtp.php script?

I would hate to not use see more this script cause of something this dumb...lol....
Mcfee
Plus it would give me the opportunity to shut up the biggest arsehole I have ever worked with. (At times)
Mcfee
Okay have everything installed edited every option my php.ini wide open. Xampp has sendmail and smtp installed with it... get email send failed for invites and users can't get their passwords sent to them....

So after 5 hours of fiddling safe to say something: The way This script send mails needs some work. . And if I get this right the only fix to this problem is a work around mod that I have to pay for? And there is no support here? If I get no response in the next few hours I guess that is see more a yes and I will move on... was looking at phpmotion seems easy to install.. And great support.

Support....lol....... Ihere .......lol....... not likly............. I gave up trying to use their email system made my own work around, I suggest you do the same... if your waiting for help... I seen your same question asked over a year ago with other people asking the same having the same issues all during that year with still no resolution... or did a dev enven try..lmao...

Support...lol........ and php motion with berry lol....let me know how that goes for you...
Mcfee
Hey arse it was you who recommended this damb thing to me... beat it!!! I wasted like 2 days on this thanks to you!
bizzi
I just wanted you to suffer like I did...lmao..... Your welcome :)
Mcfee
I see, this was revenge for the phpbb 3 RC? Lol jerkoff.
bizzi
Yep.... so get to work.... I don't pay you to bitch about what an asshole I am...lol...
bizzi
And So you know it uses -function sendmail- Not sure why? Due to ISP's cuttin down on the use of that and a very well known fact it is...... then sendmail will not work on a huage amount of peoples domains... They should think about changing that....

Just add a include that repleaces all the sendmail crap and make it access it outside of the inc/util... might work for you... Berry is an odd os. As well Fedora 8 yums work well in Berry....... rather then using Xampp do a yum set up of smtp/mail see more etc etc...... it will fatten your chances of getting it to work.

I got the same problem... send mail for the password recovery dont work at all!!!

Okay well I had a buddy check it out. My shit is tight. It's the script.. I quickly installed phpbb2 and all functions in it work fine.
So it's the script. Piss on this thing for now.. I got a game date with a video game loving hottie. So.. I'll look forward in the afternoon tomorrow to seeing mention of a patch being put out addressing this. Instead of being extorted for a mod to fix it.
Mcfee
Yep all depends on how your hosting it. I tried it on my other server worked great. Except profile pages gave me an error till I made a .ini for it and changed the htacc...

They just need to give people a choice of how to send emails out.

And I need to figure out how to add html to profiles.

Mcfee,
just one question? are you running your server from home, on a windows system? i see you mentioned wamp, so instead of doin all of this bitching about what doesnt work? how bout loading up an old box with linux making it your server load a mail server on it, there are plenty that are free, and run your site from a linux server instead of wamp? that would be my suggestion.

later,

Ah dumass it's hosted on a linux/Unix box. Everything is fine everything works phpbb forums send mail works our game server mail system works using SMTP... I got more letters infront of my name then in it. So I suggest before making insulting suggestions to me... you ask a few questions. Cause you know what they say when you assume right?

We have an active mail server already everything works on our end. 5 techs, 3 coders have checked from our end. It's the scripts limited email sending ability. see more
Xampp it's called just for the record. Not "wamp"

Broke ass scrubs use free stuff, thanks. Those of us who do this kinda crap for a living don't worry about looking for free hosts and what not.
Lol... the life of the kraft dinner eaters. Yes I am arrogant. Our whole 13 man team is arrogant. Some of us have been doing this for 15 years now since the old 386's first poped out. One of the females on our team, her father is the one who invented the CPU clock multiplier. She has been around computers since they were taller then her...

We are telling you... The mail is wacked on certain ISP's all we asked was to make a choice of how to send the emails... not to try to give us advice like one of you alone could do any better then all of us combined... lol... sit down.

But just like everything with this script we already solved the problem. Instead of sitting around and waiting for support and never have our emails (From the server) returned.

And stop being so childish and giving us thumbs down. What do you think it hurts our feelings or something..lol...?

(IF YOU READ THE FIRST POST YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN MY DESCRIPTION AND WHAT I AM ARE HOSTING IT ON)
And yes my dick is bigger then yours ...lol... just ask your wife.

I think it might be worth just writing our own script for the 2D web based part of the VR not game sorry. I keep calling it a game when it's 64 virutal cities to make a whole new style of community site. Just wish we had a database expert. Our boss fired our old one... :( Seems he like the powder a wee bit to much)

Are we gonna share the link with people? Lol...
Mcfee
As if I am stuck working on a friday night while everyone is out getting drunk and laid.

lol damit Bizzi I hate you sometimes.

:(
bizzi
He he yeah rember that on your next paycheck....lol....
Getting drunk and laid is not all it's cracked up to be.
lets see..lol... child support divorce left to live in a box after....naw...

I could have just saved you in the future from all that........
bizzi
If you really want to write a script for it thats a good idea and all... I am going to a place to get a intensive DB course on monday so. We won't be needing a db guy....... For the same cost I was paying for that guy for two months I could have just took the course and saved me the money of paying him over a 6 month span.......... As soon as you read this log in your mss account so we can chat and I have a bunch of files to dump on you to be integrated with fred.
