Hi Guys, I did the auto installation from CP using scriptDemo. I have the site up and running fine. I made the site private and you can register by invitation only.  From my admin site I sent few invitation as a test and no one got the email including myself. I have not done cron job or any other code modification. I even changed the smtp to my gmail (which needs authentication and there is no option for that in the admin area). I have other Joomla and wordpress installation on the same servers both are running and sending emails fine. I did a search on that topic but did not see any valid answer. Please help

Hi !
For send email, you must have done cronjob.

Hi Max,

Thanks for your help. I went to cPanel in Hostmonster.com and tried 
/ramdisk/bin/php5 -f /home5/hostchro/public_html/tasonn-org/ow_cron/run.php

AND

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -f /usr/local/bin/php /home/tasonn-org/public_html/ow_cron/run.php 

but it is not send any emails. did I do anything wrong?

Hmm
Why the /ramdisk/bin/php5 -f ?
/ramdisk/bin/php5 works only for Bluehost (I think).
If Bluehost is your hoster, try :

/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home5/xxxxxx/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Do you receive email with your cron ?

The cron works like this :
/path/to/php /path/to/oxwall/ow_cron/run.php

I have 1.2.4. I change the cronjob to

php -c /home/tason-org/public_html/php.ini /home/tason-org/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Still not working.

:(

Path to php is not path to php.ini ^^

this : /usr/local/bin/php /home/tasonn-org/public_html/ow_cron/run.php ?

Hi Max,

I did change it to the below path but still no luck. I opened a ticket with Hostmonster.com

/usr/local/bin/php /home/tason-org/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

If your users don't get even a confirmation e-mail after registration that means something is wrong with IPage mail server. 


 it is always worth testing SMTP  using "external" mail server. For example, gmail (http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287). 

If gmail SMTP sends out emails ok, then the issue is in your mail server's settings.

Hi All,

Im not receiving emails but my cronjob works....This is what i have on my SMTP

OK so you have nothing in your SMTP is that correct, if so then its falling back to using the php mail process.  


Are you on a dedicated or shared server?

Hi Dave,

There are details there but its not enabled because if i delete it refused to save, so information is there but i unticked "enable"

Im on VPS

OK just checking,  when you send an email does it show up in your mail table of the database.  It will only show up for a moment so youll have to keep refreshing the phpmyadmin page to see it.  


It shows up there before its sent, then once its sent it will go away.  


Also if you want to skip that since you are on a vps you can go to your WHM (for cpanel) and check your server mail outgoing mails, you can do a search by day or date or other kinds of searches and see if the email is listed there. 


If it is listed then it was sent and it is up to the client (ie hotmail or whatever) '

If it is not listed then go check the table to see if it shows up..


Also check your error logs ow_log and also look for the normal error log from the system itself in the root dir to see if it has any errors. 


How did you determine that your cron job works?

First change your cpanel password right now... Also change your email password from cpanel as well as all your ftp and smtp and other email passwords via cpanel.  


This could have come from the contact page we dont know yet if it was actually from the inside yet, so dont jump the gun just yet.  Let us do some investigation first.  


Let me look at what you sent me more closely while you secure your server.  Make sure you dont have any server emails that are not suppose to be there.  


I will get back with you in a moment..
