MyBB Community Forums

Hi everyone.

I'm kinda new at this but have recently setup an apache server running using xampp. I have the php running and the forums (MyBB 1.4.2) are up however I am trying to setup the smtp mail instead of php. I have gone into the mail handler settings through the configuration and selected smtp instead of php and then entered in my settings and save. However when I log back into that page it is back to php mail. Also is there any way to eliminate the need to login repeatedly every time you switch screens?

Thanks for your help

Sounds like you have "the login problem": http://community.mybboard.net/thread-38835.html

OK I have logged in to the acp and verified the cookie settings are correct which they were.

Domain - .wheatlandcomputers.ca
Path - \Reunion\Forums\

I also checked in the /inc/settings.php file and verified it had the correct settings which it does.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

You have back slashes??

Where are you having problems logging in? The front-end?

Sorry hit the wrong slash it is /reunion/forums

Well the original problem was that I can't get it to save the setting to change from php mail to smtp mail. Then I asked why it was popping up wanting me to login everytime I go to a different setting. Thats when it was suggested for me to read http://community.mybboard.net/thread-38835.html. Which I did and verified my settings. I can login and configure things but it just asks to login everytime. And I can't get it to save the smtp mail settings.

Thanks

Clear your cookies in your browser and try again.

or Google.

Cleared cookies deleted all temp files reset web settings to defaults and still have the same result. I get the login prompt everytime I click a link.

I will try mozilla to see if it makes a difference today. If you have any other suggestions I am open to them.

Thanks

OK so it is IE7. Must be the way the php is reacting with it. Because I just used firefox and it worked no problem.

Thanks
