activation email and forum creation

[bulldogg]

problem a

no activation email is sent out so users can activate there forum

problem b

when a user fills in the new_forum.php form and clicks submit it goes to a blank page, and thats it, the forum it created though

a) Make sure your host allows the mail() function to be used. I will be adding the ability to use SMTP instead in the next version.

b) Sounds like it's timing out. Are your FTP details correct? Most users have entered incorrect FTP paths, paste yours here or in a PM and I'll let you know what the correct path is.

ftp details

ftp://bulldogg@rfweb.net
username:undisclosed
password:undosclosed

ftp path, well i share some webspace with a friend, and from my peronal root resstings its in a folder called phpBB so i just enterec /phpBB/ would i need to go from the server root like /home/rfwebnet/public_html/bulldogg/phpBB ?

i am not willing to post or PM my ftp username or password

[bulldogg]

i entered the ftp path from the server root as posted above but it still did not work, it just showed a blank page

my host does allow mail() function, also i can send emails manually from this script to forum admins

[bulldogg]

EDIT: both problems solved, in the ftp address i used a protocol which stopped it working

Ok great. Glad it's working now.
