System Admin - Preferences - Mail Settings. Use the mail settings provided by your host.

Re: my guest can't register.............help me fast

1. From Address - the e-mail address you would like the message to appear from (like admin@yoursite.com)

2. From Name - Your Name

3. From User - Your Username

4. Mail Delivery Method - the method XOOPS uses to send e-mails. I use "PHP mail()" for instance.

5. Sendmail path - the path to sendmail on your server (check with your host if you are not sure)

6. SMTP host(s) - address of your SMTP server (example "mail.yoursite.com" or "smtp.yoursite.com" check with your host if not sure.)

7. SMTPAuth username - the username for your sites webmail.

8. SMTPAuth password - the password for your sites webmail.

HTH.

You may need to check with your hosts. Some host, Yahoo I know from experience, make it difficult to set up mail. I think this is because they are afraid that the site will spam. Get them to help you with the setup. You pay for it.

Nina,

I will start by saying this is not the only problem you will encounter using a Windows Server. I am on a Windows Server and I can say that I have become quite knowledgeable about what the Windows Servers will and will not handle.

As for your mail settings, I had a similiar problem when first using Xoops, but I found out the following settings in the pic work fine. You just need to know your SMTP host (mail host), username and password.

I host several XOOPS sites on a Windows Server and they all use this setting with little problems.

Please keep in mind that this particular problem is NOT a XOOPS bug, but a general Windows IIS issue. I have trouble running PHP applications as well, but with the help of Google and my web host, I can run most applications with a little tweaking.

HTH!
