[1.9.x] PHP Mail() not handled correctly by host; alternativ

1 Apr 06, 2007 20:49    

My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

Hi,

My host has been unable to resolve a problem with PHP mail() function for the past month, and now I've gone and lost my password for b2evo...

I can get into the MySQL database, but the encoding of the password doesn't look the same as apache's (for me to just paste a new password), so I'm thinking: SMTP should do the trick to reset the password.

Anybody with instructions on how to change it to send via SMTP? (Would be a great idea to incorporate an option to make it default in b2evo, much like the options one has in Mambo...)

I have read [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=11294]This Post[/url], [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=10944&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=email]This Post[/url], and [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=8850&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=email+user]This Post[/url]

I remain hopeful that I'm not the only one with a stupid hosting company.

the password you see in MySQL is a Md5 hash of the plain text password.

If you want to reset that, heres an easy one:

he md5 equivalent for the word "apple" WITHOUT the quotes is :

1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f

Put that in the password field you are looking at, save it, and your password has been changed to apple.

If you dont want apple, use this to make i what you like:

Super! Thanks B)

Will change to apple, log in and change it through the system :D

SMTP still on the wishlist...

Excellent, thanks :D

Will test it when I have a chance - I eventually managed to get it working without SMTP.
