Hi,

I have installed pligg 1.0.1

Works fine but I have a problems with activation email which is not being send to a new user after registration
Should I modify anything via admin panel? I cannot find any email-related items there. Please help

E-mails are able to be sent through my server, yet pligg won't send emails

As I am waiting for any help .... here are my settings:

VPS Ubuntu 8.04 LAMP

email server is on another machine (but do I need email server for Pligg??)

my site 1.0.1 sends NO emails at all

WHy?

Dear Pligg Devs, could you please help with it?

Pligg uses /usr/sbin/sendmail by default to send registration emails. It should be present in the system, but is it configured to use external mail server?

Anyway you could try to change default configuration in libs/class.phpmailer5.php (if you use php 5) or in libs/class.phpmailer4.php:
public $Mailer = 'smtp';
public $Host = 'your_email_server_name';
public $Port = 25;
If the server requires secure connection and/or authorization, you may need to change the following lines accordingly:
public $SMTPSecure = "";
public $SMTPAuth = false;

First make sure you have it activated from the admin panel.
Admin > Configure> Misc> Validate Users Email > Set to true.

If you still have problems, contact your host to see if they have disabled php()mail functions. Some hosts will have this disabled by default.
