Hi,
The forgot password function does not work. Since it goes via email, do you need to configure a mailserver somewhere?
I couldn't find anything about that in the manual.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings Peter

Re: Forgot password email
Yes I did. I tried several addresses in fact, but it didn't work for some reason.
Do I need to change something in the configuration or a setting in a file somewhere?
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi,
this should work because we only use a wrapper around the native PHP mail() function. Do you see any errors from your mailserver's log?

Re: Forgot password email
Do you mean mail.php in the inc folder?
Re: Forgot password email
Hi,
no, you should have a mailserver to send e-mails and this server should have a log. I need the information what's happening in your mailserver.

Re: Forgot password email
Good news, I got it to work! It was my own fault. Thanks to your remark about the native PHP mail function being used.
I remembered yesterday during another WAMP setup that I didn't input my mailserver details in this setup.
I looked in C:\xampp\php\php.ini, found the following and changed it to my own mailserver address:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
So maybe this helps other users with email problems. But thanks for your effort to help solve this Thorsten.
Kind Regards,
Peter
