Gmail Account's SMTP settings do not work in Coppermine Registrations

(1/1)

dawjv:
Hello,

I today tried to put smtp settings of gmail in the Admin Control Panel but I am not able to get emails sent by coppermine and I get below mentioned error.


--- Quote ---Critical error
The registration confirmation email can't be send!
--- End quote ---

I wrote

SMTP server : smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Login : myname@gmail.com
SMTP Password : my gmail account password

What should I do to remove this error and get the script to send the emails properly ?

The link to my gallery is as mentioned below.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
Dave

Gmail's using ssl smtp auth. That's not supported by Coppermine. You'll need to use smtp that's using username / password auth (without TLS/SSL or similar).

There was a work around for this problem in Coppermine Version 1.4x as I found out while searching for my problem in this thread.

Obviously since the version is changed and code edited as I read in version information for 1.5x, this won't work, but can there be a similar solution for Coppermine Version 1.5x also ?

Nibbler:
Yes. The manual explains how to use gmail.
