User Registration Fails Every Time...

NEW TIKI INSTALLATION

Every time I try to signup as a new "dummy" user, I get the following error:

Warning: fsockopen() function.fsockopen: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /home/www/MYDOMAIN/lib/registration/registrationlib.php on line 75

Warning: fsockopen() function.fsockopen: unable to connect to mail.ANYWEBSITE.com:25 in /home/www/MYDOMAIN/lib/registration/registrationlib.php on line 75

Anyone know why?

Thanks,
Don

Hi

I get the same error if I set up requiring e-mail authentication. I've tried with a number of different e-mail accounts - same every time😢


Tiki is attempting to check for a valid email address from the user. If you want to turn it off, goto Admin -> General and set your OS to Windows 🙄. It bypasses the mail checking 😉

Weird.... It's now June 2005, nearly two years later, and this problem still exists. 'Very little information on it (here, google, anywhere...)


I haven't tried registering a user... I see the fsockopen problem when I use webmail and mailin. In my case, it is a time out problem (but I had to hack the code to get this message to print out.)

Again, I've tried two different email accounts at two different ISPs.

I remember I got the mail in to work once under a differnet tiki installation.

Fortunately, there is a project underway to replace all the mail-related code.... I think.
