Hi,

I'm hosting my own webserver and running Xoops. The mail function isn't working on it however. I keep getting errors when ppl try to register, saying that the registration email failed to send. I've tried changing the settings to use my gmail account, but apparantly I haven't got the settings right to do this either.

I'd really like to be able to just use PHP mail and not have to set up my own smtp server on my server machine, but I don't know what's necessary to make this work.

Thoughts, directions, ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Is there an existing module or block or something that I can use to display a listing of all of my members?

What might be easier than what you're trying to do, would be to go to your firewall and tell it to forward all the incoming traffic on port 8080 to your webserver on port 80.

If you mangle the packets there and set apache back to listening to port 80, you don't have to ever think about this again.

Ok, so this isn't exactly a XOOPS question, but I was wondering if any of you knew the answer anyway.

My situation is this:
I'm hosting from home and using dyndns to get a domain connected to my IP address.

I have a domain name registered with godaddy that is forwarded to my dyndns domain name

so it goes like this

example.org -> long.name.dyndns.org -> my server

It works great, but of course when you type example.org into the browser window, it gets changed after the forward tohttp://long.name.dyndns.org/modules/news.

I've experimented with using the masking option, but then my pages don't show up ashttp://example.org/modules/news orhttp://example.org/modules/whatever, they all get changed to justhttp://example.org, which I don't like.

Is there a way to hide just the ugly dyndns domain name so that all the directories show up just fine, but they're listed underhttp://example.org in the browser window?

Is this something that mod rewrite could even accomplish?

Is there a XOOPS smarty variable reference page somewhere? Something that shows the smarty variables available in XOOPS and describes what they each will return when you use them?
