Email problem!

[Bjorn2004]

I have a problem. I'm changing servers right now, and have installed a OScommerce, I have imported my old db and everything seems right, if you look apart for the email problems.

 

When a customer signs up, no email are sent out

When a customer orders, no email are sent out (not store owner, or customer)

When customer click on "Contact us" and "email sent" is shown on screen, I recive nothing.

 

What have I been doing wrong?? :rolleyes:

you must have and incorect email address in the store owner

[Bjorn2004]

everything is the same as on the old site :(

[batteryrat]

did you not change servers?

[Bjorn2004]

yes I have installed the Oscommerce on my new webhotell, and everything is just the way it was before (all preferences etc), but emails are not comming trough the systeme!

Does your new server support sendmail or smtp? If you switched from *nix to windows or vice versa you will probably need to change these settings. Also, check to see who you have send e-mail from set to.

I dont remember who wrote this to give them credit, put this into the your catalog folder then execute it, it sends two emails, one via server email other via oscommerce code, can help identify where the errors are at.

 

<?php

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {

define('SEND_EMAILS', 'true');

 

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['usehtml']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['usehtml'] == '1')) {

define('EMAIL_USE_HTML', 'true');

} else {

define('EMAIL_USE_HTML', 'false');

}

}

 

require('includes/application_top.php');

 

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {

mail($HTTP_POST_VARS['to_address'], '

Hi ,

 

I just wanted to know which file this code should go into.

 

Thanks

[gurmeetm]

where does this code go?

[vasttech]

Create a new file and copy the code to it. Put that new file into the catalog directory and goto http://www.your-domain-name-here.com/catal...ed_the_file.php

[gurmeetm]

Tried this no emails still sent... I dont get any errors which is very wierd. Its telling me emails sent. But nothing ever comes into my inbox.

[vasttech]

Are you on a Unix-based server? If so try going to admin->configuration->email options set the email transport method to sendmail.

 

If you are using smtp you may have to add a line to your php.ini file to point the correct smtp server.

 

If your host does not allow you to edit your php.ini file directly you can add the following line to application_top.php to do that:

 

$setsmtpsrvr = ini_set('SMTP', 'your-mail-server-here');

[gurmeetm]

I am on a UNIX server running Apache. Hosted with www.intermedia.net

 

I tried adding this to the Applicationtop.php file but no luck...

 

$setsmtpsrvr = ini_set('SMTP', 'your-mail-server-here');

[vasttech]

What is transport method are using to send e-mails?

[gurmeetm]

SMTP I also Tried Sendmail but nothing...

I had the same problem with suse and we ran the updates and all was good.

however on my windows 2K server with vertual SMTP and apache with OSC 2.2 2 and it will only send e-mail to the users when they place order, it will not send to the store owner. this only worked after I put the code talked about here on the *top.php in both admin and catalog. any ideas? is there another file I need to do this for?
