This back is great, thanks for making it =)

I had some problems with mail servers, that was my problem, got that fixed.

Then I had a problem with forums, it was giving me header errors, I added the code to fix that.

Having a problem with private messages now, they seem to send back to me.

If i go preview it shows my username as the sendee and the receivee even though I chose someone else.

Using foxserv 3.0.

Have never heard of this. Have you added any mod's to the original distribution?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 3:43 pm

I have, but I had the same error before.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 3:46 pm

I would try reinstalling the modules/Forums/ files - all of them, and also the includes folder. I know it works so I can't imagine what else it might be.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 3:51 pm

ok, ill do that right now

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:13 pm

Ok, I uploaded both, same problem. I enabled Private messages if you want to give it a try.

Just for curiosity, in your Forum preferences, is this set to OFF?

Use SMTP Server for email

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:30 pm

I am using Apache on Windows XP Pro

Is there any files I have to change the rights to?

I know I ahve to do it for the picture module, I am going that when I get home from work, but anything else I have to do that for? I didn't see anything in the installation notes.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:34 pm

It was off, but even after enabling it, it doesnt work.

I set the SMTP server to crilen.dns2go.com (I have a routing server working on the same system, it works for the email activation so i know that will be ok)

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:48 pm

Leave it off. Are there any errors in your mail server log?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:51 pm

No errors on the mail server.

I PM'd you the admin password if you want to take a quick peek at it.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:52 pm

Think it might have something to do with the users table?

Sometimes it has the admin username as the reciever and my normal username as the sender, but I cant seem to send it to the other user on my site "lowrider".

I am receiving the Actual User Status Offline message which is really odd since you are using Apache, correct? Or are you using IIS?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:55 pm

Using Apache 2

And IIS SMTP server.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:56 pm

It looks like your system is using IIS for the web server too. Can you give me a link to phpinfo()?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:58 pm

phpinfo()???

What is that?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:58 pm

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Save the above script to a file like test.php, load it to your server and send me the link.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:59 pm

the IIS Webserver should be disabled (it was last i checked).

The server is definatly apache.

IIS isnt even pointing to the correct location, nor does it have PHP installed.

I am unable to stay logged in. Are you able to stay logged in? Log in and go to Your Account. What is your user status?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 5:03 pm

Yea it works, for some reason it doesnt work with the admin account.

Maybe I have to erase all my users again? and purge the users table?

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 5:04 pm

im at work too, so it has nothing to do with localhost verification or something weird like that either.

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2004 5:04 pm

Btw, thanks for all your help on this =)

I really appreciate it, not to mention the work put into the raven pack.
