| badeyes | Subject: Confirmation email |  |
| If you are asking for help, provide lots of detail so problems can be reproduced. Things to describe: Operating system ATutor is installed on - ATutor version - Patch #s applied - ATutor theme name - PHP version - MySQL version - Webserver & version - Copies of error messages - Changes to default settings - Web browser being used - ...and anything else relevant -Hello All I've recently installed ATutor and am having a problem with emails. When I register as a new user I get a message that says it has sent a confirmation email to the address I supplied but it never sends one. When I go to the "confirm" page it also says it has sent an email but hasn't. I've also noticed that I cant send emails to other Users that are enrolled, the error message says " There was an error sending the email message." and that is all. My info is as follows: ATutor Version: = 1.6.3. PHP Version: = 5.2.9 MySQL Version: = 5.0.81-community OS: = Linux 2.6.24.5-grsec-hostnoc-4.0.0-x86_64-libata Browser IE 6.0 Screen reader JAWS 6.0 cheers Geof Posted: 2009-09-14 18:59:07 | ||

| Mention this to your service provider. ATutor requires a properly configure Sendmail installation. Posted: 2009-09-15 08:31:13 | ||

He also wanted to know exactly how it needed to be configured if the program can run on exim. Posted: 2009-09-15 09:19:40 | ||

| A default configuration of Sendmail will work. The other option is to define an SMTP server in the system's php.ini file. That may be easier if there is another mail server somewhere you can point to. Posted: 2009-09-15 09:36:12 | ||
