Email for activation new user?

When I add a new user (for testing) GDating tells me to check my email for an activation email, because my account will not work if I don't activate it. This mail never comes in. Also, the email to the admin doesn't come in. How to solve this problem?

It should work. To debug it, we need to see on your server, cause can be some local settings.

It's not on a public server yet because we can't test it without shutting down our current website. It's on a server running under localhost (Apache server).

Windows localhost cannot send mail ... need a mailserver for this. Usually Windows servers not have a mailserver.

Our internetserver doesn't have a mailserver either. Does that mean we can't get this to work?

hmmm, hard to belive, how then send mails? It need to have PHP mail() function and to have a sender. Should work.

We have our own internetserver without mail because we use e-mail through an internet provider. We are just hosting our website on our own server. Your website doesn't mention this requirement. Just Windows, PHP and MySQL. Can we use the SMTP-server from our provider?

I will need to check, I think you can, but I need to ask. I think you have also email on your server, just try there please.

Thank you for checking. When do you know if it's possible?

(We don't have email on our server, I'm sure about that. Our internetprovider blocked the ports used for email so we can't setup our own email server.)

Hi,

it will not work. the script need the PHP mail() function
so you schould install a mailserver on the server where
the scripts is running.

We will modify the script for custom request to have possibilities to send out also with SMTP. But will take some time.

Any idea how long it's gonna take?

We have done before by using as a secondary package phpmailer.class, I can ask for you how can we do the same.

If you would be so kind...?

Thank you.

Monday is scheduled to review this.
