Notification System not working

Thursday 28 May 2009 7:37:47 am

Hi,

I've been working on a project for quite long, and only now I realized that the notification system of my ezPublish distribution is not working.

Whenever I try to create a new user or test the "forgot password" the system don't send any e-mail to the one given on the form the user have to feel.

I don't have experience on that, so don't even know where or how to start searching for a solution.

Please, I need hint's for this case.

Hi,

I checked at the logs, but didn't find any error regarding the notifications or email settings.

At the site.ini configuration file, I found the following settings:

[MailSettings]
Transport=SMTP
TransportServer=localhost (Apache server)
TransportUser=root
TransportPassword=*********
AdminEmail=
EmailSender=

I thing there's something wrong on this settings. I don't know if the, TransportUser, TransportPassword, AdminEmail and EmailSender settings are correct.

Hi Ivo,

It's not a stupid question.
In fact, I'm shore if it's working or not.

I have Apache installed and as I could find out, Apache is also a FTP server. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Here are my system specification:
Ezpublish 4.0.3
Wampserver
Windows Vista

I checked in the php.ini file and realized that the smtp extension was not activated. I did activate it, cleaned the cache and tested creating an account but it still didn't send any e-mail.

I'm going to upload my site to a godaddy and then try to configure the mail transfer system there. do anyone got any experience on that? Please, need some hints.

Thanks
