Fresh New Install RN 2.4.0.1 - Problems Encountered

dad7732 · Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 10:14 am

Ok, did a completely new FRESH install of RN 2.4.0.1 on a brand new domain.

Problems:

1. Resend_Email language file not recognized

2. Email will not be send from the web site unless TegoNuke Mailer is enabled and "mail()" is selected - reproducible 100%

3. For new registrant, the password is send auto-generated, not what the user entered

Oops, one more:

4. When the notify of reply feature is enabled:

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 238
File : emailer.php

The only thing that will overcome this error is to configure for SMTP.

Also curious as to where this entry comes from in TegoNuke Mailer if SMTP is selected:

"smtp.tusitio.com"

Cheers

The mail thing sounds like something on your end.

Yes, it does, especially since it's a fresh install. I've been up and down PHP.INI but don't see anything outstanding yet. PHP5 is a little different in this respect I am seeing. Sendmail on the server seems to be working as intended but still worth looking at.

I can answer this one. It is just a dummy default value. With the new Mailer I am working on, I have already changed that to be more of a generic pattern as apposed to what you see now. It is simply meant to be a helpful example.

Sorta should be like: smtp.yoursite.com .. one never knows. Wink

Doesn't really matter tho cuz there is always somebody that's gonna use the example and then wonder why it doesn't work. We fought this at Netscape for eons.

dad7732, I completely agree and I already changed the default in my new version, but Mailer has been around in RN for awhile now and so that old default still lingers... not much I can do about that until folks upgrade.

From experience, I definitely wouldn't have a bona fide smtp address as the example. Even "example.com" will toss an error. Maybe something like:

<outgoing server address> or <smpt server address> or similar thinking.

How about:

"SMTP address: [.......................]" Entry box is blank

Cheers

#1 Resend_Email language file ..... SOLVED!!

At the beginning of the file lang_english.php is

Code:

<?

Change to:

Code:

<?php

Works just fine now. Smile

I'll get that fixes as we should not be using short tags.

... and, to be honest, every one of the included scripts should have the final ?> stripped out of them... It would eliminate issues with some blank pages and/or "headers already sent".

Just an FYI: tusitio is Spanish (and maybe Italian, too) for "your site"

As regards issue #4 ..

First of all, emailer.php line #238:

Code:

message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Failed sending email :: ' . (($this->use_smtp) ? 'SMTP' : 'PHP') . ' :: ' . $result, '', __LINE__, __FILE__);

If I am NOT using SMTP but rather mail() then why the error regarding SMTP? If I do user SMTP I don't get the error and mail goes out error-free.

I also checked the PHP.INI file and regarding [Mail Function] nothing is out of sorts that I can tell, it's rather straight forward. Never had this problem until RN 2.4.0.1 and PHP-5.3.2

Cheers

Edit: The only way mail can be sent via the forum notify feature is to configure for SMTP in the forum config. I've tried everything that "I" know so far.
