I've just Installed Nuke 7.3 on my Apache WebServer into my LinuxBox and I have some problems:

1. when a new user wants to register, He doesn't get any email about the "new user account activation" :cry:

2. SO: I tried to load the webmail module, but the server answered me: "Sorry, such file doesn't exist..." :cry:

3. The only thing I want is to allow my Nuke-Site to use my remote SMTP server (without installing a mail server into my LinuxBox)... :cry:

What I have to do?!?!?

Please, HELP ME!!!

thanx

SC

this might and might not work try to CHMOD 666 ur file includes/smtp.php

make sure you try that and then go and creat a new user on your site then come back and let me no if this works or not!

mmm, I tried:

[root@localhost html]# chmod 666 includes/smtp.php

but nothing seemed to happen...

When I try to load the webmail module (or just to go to: "http://localhost/modules.php?name=WebMail"), my Nuke-site answer me:

"Sorry, such file doesn't exist..." :cry:

N.B. wandering in my var/www/html/modules/webmail/ folder, I can't find anything else than a "language" folder (with some file in)... But no php files! Could it be a suggestion?

Thanx

googling around, I've found that webMail module has been removed from PHP-NUKE 7.3 release (I don't know why, it seems because of Copyright problems or bugs...)

does anyone know a good substitute??[/list]

Couple of things.
I know you said you do not want to install a webmail service on your Linux box, but it wouldn't hurt to load sendmail. If you did, that would probably fix your problem. Depending on your verison of Linux, it should be as simple as installing an RPM.

The other thing you can do, if all else fails, is this

I installed sendmail, but it didn't change anything.

The main issue, is that I don't have any place where I can put the SMTP name and password (I'm using my ISP mail server)...

I found a hacked WebMail module from WWW.KAGARISEFAMILY.COM, I installed it, and I looked at configuration file: I can put my POP/SMTP server, but there's no place for password (in effect, however, the configuration file is not very clear):

// Your default Pop Server -- THIS MUST BE IN HERE. THIS WOULD BE THE POP3/SMTP OF YOUR SITE
$defaultpopserver = "";

SMTP or POP? I have two different address for each one!! (Here I put my POP server)

// Do all users use ONE account to send mail? (0) no (1) yes
$singleaccount = "1";

what do it means? Boh!

// What is the single account name if yes to question above? THIS MUST BE IN HERE. THIS WOULD BE THE SMTP OF YOUR SITE
$singleaccountname = "";

Here, I put my SMTP... or I had to put my login name?!?

As you see.. No place for passworde here!!

I looked at php.ini as well, the UNIX - webMail configuration should work simply installing sendmail...

.. so I followed your suggestion about "no email reg." .. But I hope someone can help me to resolve this mess.
