How?

Hi,

if you log in to your web space you should see a directory where the logfiles are stored.
Usually they are named 'access.log' or similar.
Download the file, open in an editor (it is just a text file) and look for error messages.

You can also try the following things:
Lgin to your Piwigo Backend - as a logged in Admin send yourself a message with the contact form.
If this works you are not allowed to send emails with a sender mail adressw  which is not registered at your e-mail account.
To fix this, you can setup Piwigo to send emails through smtp.
This can be done by configuring the local files editor plugin.

$conf['smtp_host'] = 'your smtp host:Port(usually 25)';
$conf['smtp_user'] = smtp user';
$conf['smtp_password'] = 'your smtp password#';
$conf['mail_sender_email'] = 'your mail adresse';
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;
$conf['smtp_secure'] = null;

Note: With settings mails will be send without SSL.
In my case ssl did not work - the settings above work for me.
If you do not the correct port number or credentials you need to contact your provider.

Good Morning All...  can you explain more for a dummy.  what file s config'ed with the local file editor, the config it shows is empty, tried to build it but get syntax error.

/config/config.inc.php

<?php


/* The file does not exist until some information is entered
below. Once information is entered and saved, the file will be created. */
$conf['smtp_host'] = 'mail.sweetpea.xyz:465(usually 25)';
$conf['smtp_user'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['smtp_password'] = 'password';
$conf['mail_sender_email'] = 'sweetpea.xyz@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;
$conf['smtp_secure'] = true;



?>

Just need more info if you would please

Thank you, I got that far, but errors sending,  the server uses sll on port 465 what would be the syntax for:$conf['smtp_secure'] =null;


<?php


/* The file does not exist until some information is entered
below. Once information is entered and saved, the file will be created. */
$conf['smtp_host'] = 'sub5.mail.dreamhost.com:465(usually 25)';
$conf['smtp_user'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['smtp_password'] = 'XXXXXXX';
$conf['mail_sender_email'] = 'sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;
$conf['smtp_secure'] = ssl;





?>

thought thru all of that

and came up with this
$conf['smtp_host'] = 'sub5.mail.dreamhost.com:465';
$conf['smtp_user'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['smtp_password'] = 'XXXXXXXX';
$conf['mail_sender_email'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;
$conf['smtp_secure'] = ssl;

tired ports 465 587
also with sll tls and nul

same response ever time
One time I just deleted all of it and tired and it said sent successful  but never got an email
I called my host and they don't know either

same thing

$conf['smtp_host'] = 'sub5.mail.dreamhost.com:25';
$conf['smtp_user'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['smtp_password'] = '@1Christi1';
$conf['mail_sender_email'] = 'sweetpea@sweetpea.xyz';
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;
$conf['smtp_secure'] = null;

in the
$conf['mail_allow_html'] = true;  <--------should true be in 'true'  or just   true
$conf['smtp_secure'] = null;  <---------same here

also what troubles me it the error seen in the previous post
error() http://github ...........  why is it calling for github?
