Sorry couldn't post in Error section: wouldn't let me post a topic
I have follwing when peopel try to register:
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.yahoo.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\easyphp\www\4images\includes\email.php on line 171
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.yahoo.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\easyphp\www\4images\includes\email.php on line 171
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\easyphp\www\4images\includes\email.php on line 171
But in Settings i specified the following from one of the posts:
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=3162.0
1. Login to the admin control panel
2. Under "General" click "Settings"
3. Fill in "Admin Email" with a working email address.
4. Click the "NO" radio button for "Use SMTP server".
5. Leave the SMTP server host, username and password fields blank.
6. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.[/list:u]
I don't no emails sent anywhere that's teh thing!!! But it still tries to! hmmm seems like ive checked it all :(. please help!
Ah yes as admin i can see actually users names then waiting for activationa dn they they all work fine they can enter and login! But this error message they get is no good coz they think they didn't pass
But if i anable SMTP it says:
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:25 in c:\easyphp\www\4images\includes\email.php on line 184
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\easyphp\www\4images\includes\email.php on line 184
but may be its my php that needs some extension or smt like that? It says about php built in mail!? but what is it? working admin email? can i use tvvladimir_yahoo.com?
or is it possible to configure mail service with Outlook, Eudora, or Netscape Mail?

look at your database!!! look at: 4images_user search your name! look at: user_email waths your mail in your database???
when your account not send with SMTP, set NO point in Send with SMTP, NO SMTP-Server-Adress, NO SMTP-User, NO SMTP-PW
but look on first in your Database :wink:

I still got messgae:

out of topic but juts wanted to ask) If I was to send letters (since it tried to send them ) maybe i should? what is best way to do it? amke ur own server (i'm not remote) i found James Apache server for smtp and pop3 (but strange thing is that i have Apache from easyphp so will it not conflict) but its out of topic please do not answer it if its no interest to the forum just u know
:D thanks alot for help agian (to honda2000 -atleast now i know how to use the database directly :D) oh and Ive tried deleting my email completely so that it wouldn't send anywhere: bloody thing won't let me do it! it keeps it!

Actualy, if mail() function failed, it means your host administrator did not setup PHP properly.
Contact them and ask them to fix it.
Unless you have access to a SMTP server nothing you can do about it.

As for setting my php U r probably right! that is why I asked any idea on what it is ive done wrong :oops: :) . Though u ma be right! i will try to set up smtp and pop3 today :D haha wish me luck coz I don't even really realize what that is (only read what was written in wikipedia :D
