User registration problems

So my suggestion from post #19 fixed it for Gibby. Can anyone else confirm this works before I remove $return_path in the next version of Hotaru?

I opened /libs/EmailFunctions.php and removed the $return_path parameter from line 103, doesn't work for me.

@nothingman, perhaps you could try running a similar test to Gibby? Upload a separate mail test first and see if that works.

At the moment, this is the change I'll be making in Hotaru 1.1.4 due the first weekend in April:

/libs/EmailFunctions.php lines 102-104:

//$return_path = "-f " . SITE_EMAIL;
$return_path = "";
mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $this->headers, $return_path); 

I've left $return_path in there, but set it to blank. Gibby, could I bother you one more time to test the above code? Thanks.

@Alf, how about you? Any progress at your end?

Hi

Changed but still no email for me :-(

Wow, I guess I'll have to leave $return_path out completely.

Thanks for trying it.

OK I've found a solution, for me at least, turns out I set my SITE EMAIL to "admn@mydomain.com" , once I switched it to my SMTP USERNAME the emails started sending.

No changes to /libs/EmailFunctions.php needed

LOL, sometimes the biggest problems have the simplest solutions

Glad it's working for you now.

Ok, I too set up my SMTP to ON and entered the SITE EMAIL as "do-not-reply@mydomain.com". But I wonder why I'm getting the following errors after clicking the Register button.

Warning: EmailFunctions::require_once(Mail.php) [function.EmailFunctions-require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /serverpath/html/libs/EmailFunctions.php on line 125

Fatal error: EmailFunctions::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Mail.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /serverpath/html/libs/EmailFunctions.php on line 125

EDIT: I'm still not getting the confirmation mails (I'm probably entering the incorrect info on the SMTP settings)

@nothingman, you shouldn't need to use SMTP email authentication unless your server requires it. If you're on a shared server then it's highly unlikely you need to turn SMTP on. Those errors are caused because you don't have PEAR Mail enabled on your server with you only need when SMTP is turned on. Don't worry about that. Just...

1. Turn SMTP off
2. Put in a valid site email address that matches the domain you are sending emails from.
3. Reorder the plugins as suggested a few times before (if you're not using Hotaru 1.1.3, then upgrade)
4. Remove the 5th parameter from the mail function like Gibby did

Then you should be back in business.
