Icy Phoenix

Hi,

Last May 2007 when it was still phpBBXS, the Activation Link works fine...
I didn't noticed that after upgrading it to IcyPhoenix, it doesn't send Activation Link to newly registered users anymore.

I configured the forum to activate their account by their own by clicking on the Activation Link sent by the Forum....

Really need help for this... There's no problem on our Mail Server...

Thanks!

If you revieve a PM, are you notify via the mail of the PM?

No I mean the activation link after registration....

Of course the newly registered user can't login until he/she activated his/her account by clicking on the activation link e-mailed by the Forum after registration process.

Thanks

But i ask you that, because i want to know if the mail() function of your apache is working fine

my forum Dont send the activation link....

I dont Know why....

What i need to do?

Private Messaging inside the Forum works fine....

I also tried manually activating the inactive accounts who registered but doesnt received an activation link.

The forum says:
The users are activated. Notification mail sent.

But when we checked out inbox, we ain't received any Notification mail sent by Forum...

Zuker try to say, that, you have to have in options to email you when you get a new PM, and try to send a PM to a user to see if the system send the PM notification email.

Ask your server about this problem please.

I did. I also tried emailing myself from the Forum, but I received nothing when I checked my inbox or bulk mail...

Just want to let you know, there's no problem on our mail server, sendmail, etc.. are working fine... It can send and received emails fine... SPF record, etc is configured properly...... Other opensource CMS installed on same server can do send emails. etc...

Please... Im sure the problem is really on IcyPhoenix...

The problem it isn't on icy. I'm running icy and the mail functions is working fine.

Maybe u've got a bad configuration inside your ACP. Please check it and post here a screenshot of your configuration

Have you tried with an SMTP server?

which section on ACP please...

check ACP->server->smtp settings

Icyphoenix is not the problem. It seems that your php mail() function is disabled - this is not the same as directly sending email with other mail servers like sendmail, it is purely determined by the php server, (although it might ultimately use sendmail). Try not to confuse these.

Here is a very simple file I wrote so I can check php mail on my server from time to time. Install both files in your phoenix directory, and edit send_email.php - look for the line $to = "myemail@myself.com";
change to your email address, keep the quotes.

The main file to run is send_email.html, where you enter some text. This in turn calls the send_email.php file which contains the php mail() function.

If you fill in everything correctly and don't receive anything, you know for sure that php mail() isn't working. You need to ask your host about enabling that, as many disable it for spam reasons. If you are the host, then you need to enable php mail when you compile and install the php server.

Thanks, I will try....
