Hello,
I know this topic has been discussed, but I have not been able to find the answer upon hours of searching. Here is the situation I am having:
I am the admin of my coppermine gallery, and after a new user registers for my gallery, I get an email to activate them.
I login, then activate them right away.
Days and weeks go by, but they never receive an email telling them they are approved.
In fact, they forget about the site and never come back.
This is not okay with me.
I have talked to my host, and sendmail IS enabled.
We did a test, and I have the following working:
SMTP Host: localhost
SMTP Username: (my email address)
SMTP Password: (my email password)
This works to send me notices of new users needing activation, when users want to send e-cards, and users people request their forgotten password. This does not work, however, to notify new users that they are now active and can begin posting comments and sending e-cards.
This is not an issue with my web host's server or email. Again, this has been tested and it works.
The host and I have determined it is an with Coppermine, as the rest of the email features work properly and quickly.
I have seen others ask about this same issue, but without resolution.
I just did the upgrade last week, and my Config shows "stable" usage of:
Coppermine Photo Gallery v1.4.12
Note: Though I have upgraded, my version number still shows 1.4.12 on my Config page. I know it should show 1.4.14, but it is working fine and the upgrade was successful; so, I don't believe that's the problem. The issue I am having has been ongoing (before the upgrade, and now after the upgrade).
I had a system admin friend come over today to help me with this, and we looked for errors in the php log and apache log... nothing to be found. We looked at all possible options and read forum post after post. He advised that I post this question to you.
I would appreciate a response, with details.
Thank you very much, in advance, for your help!
