Hi all,
Please check whether you can send mail using php!
I cant send mails after the cPanel upgradation process!
I dont know whats happened with that!!
Is it for my account only or all are having the same problem??
Please guys, check it now and confirm it!

Im having phpbb forum my site!
It was working fine without any problem!
But after cPanel upgradation, php mail is not functioning well!
Its not sending any activation mail to the registered users!
Its not notifying users about the reply and nothing going from the phpbb forum!
Please help me!
I need to fix it as soon as possible!

Then I changed the configuration of Email Settings
to: Use SMTP Server for email

Activativating that smtp email option gives me the following error:

Could not connect to smtp host : 110 : Connection timed out

DEBUG MODE

Line : 112
File : smtp.php

Had tried many smtp servers. But all are giving same error only!
Please guys, help me out to fix the problem soon!

Thanks friend! thanks for such a fast response!
Waiting here to fix the issue!
Hope, they will not take much time to fix the problem!

Well, it could take a little time since the error isn't consistant. Some emails from my site works fine but others do not. So there must be omething incompatable in in the non-working email code with the setting in the new cPanel.

As for the SMTP settings, I haven't tried them.

Wow thank god I read this.

I was about to spend alot of time figuring out what is up with my website and why isn't the local mail function working.

I hope this can be fixed soon, because users cannot register at my site without a verification email and I have been recieving a lot of complaints about this.

Are the AstaHost administrators aware of the problem? I'm sure they are and are hard at work at fixing it.

Just have to be patient I guess.


I was not even aware that cpanel had been updated.

I've tested smtp on my account and it works fine, looks like only phpmail is affected.

That smtp email was not working even before cPanel upgradation!
But that was not a matter for me, beacuse the phpbb forum can send mails without that smtp option!
Before cPanel upgradation also, I was getting the same error message as:



But didnt mentioned here as Im able to send mails wthout that smtp option!
Noe after cPanel upgradation only, the mails from my forum is not delivering to the users!
Hope, the techs team will fix the issue soon!
Waiting for the announcement from the guys!


Edit:


But smtp mail configuration for my phpbb forum was not working even before the cPanel Upgradation process!
But the same code was working fine for my old server!
I dont know why it was like that!

So no wonder I weren't unable to send mails.

Another problem I encountered, if this may apply to other members is that When trying to save a file using PHP, it takes a while until it's overwritten.

I was trying to save an XML file using PHP from Flash it worked but it took a while for it to be updated. Anyone encounter this problem?

Hi, you are right, i just check if i can send mail using php and i confirm that it dont works.

Best regards,

So is there any update on the situation?

Are we sure the AstaHost people know about the problem
