jhuedder Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Hi, my latest OSC-installation doesn't send order-mails to the shop-owner. When I configure an extra order-mail then I get this mail twice! The installation is on SuSE 9.1 with Plesk 7.1.7. I already tried several configurations (SMTP vs. sendmail, LF vs. LFCR, HTML vs. plain text) but without any success in this issue. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Joerg _______________________________ Joerg Hueddersen [email protected]
TENCENTS Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Same problem here. Tried everything. It's got something to do with 'localhost' and 'smtp_port' Have you tried mailing one of your customers from the customer maintenance form in admin. This should give you the same error message I'm getting. It's a good clue - I just don't know where the hell to begin. I think the order confirmation tries to send the email but doesn't check (or report) the error, so it looks like everything is squeaky-clean, but no mail ever gets sent. Aaaaaarrghhh !!!! Never underestimate the power of stupid people, especially in groups.
TENCENTS Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Eureka !!! - after spending the whole damned day on it. IF YOU'VE GOT OSC EMAIL PROBLEMS (and you've tried EVERYTHING), try this: open the PHP.INI file (in the root folder) - you need to edit this file! search for 'SMTP' on the line 'SMTP = localhost' change localhost to your domain name, eg. www.site.com (no quotes). For newbies (like me) - localhost isn't some magical number or secret-password, it's your site's name - I spent the whole day to learn that !! (slap!) - it was like flicking a switch. EMAIL IS NOW 100% Thanks to Harald's email tester contribution it made short work of testing and probably stopped me from putting my fist through the monitor. :thumbsup: Never underestimate the power of stupid people, especially in groups.
