Blog/Users not being Created (6 posts)

    I did my initial testing with WPMU and everything worked fine then. So then I removed everything, cleared out the database and did a fresh upload and install. Everything installed and activated fine.

    When a user goes to wp-signup.php to create a new user and blog, it says it is created and needs to be activated, email sent. The email never comes. I've read that some people have issues with hotmail so I tried two other emails that aren't hotmail and they didn't receive it either. If I got into the Site Admin, I don't see the blogs there or the users at all. If I try to recreate them it says the username and/or email is in use already. I've checked the SQL database and the users and blogs aren't listed there either.

    I tried another fresh install in a different directory and database. Everything installed fine with not issues. I'm still having the same problem.

    Any ideas on what is going on? The first test worked fine, but now I can't get it to work on new installs.

    The debugging script in the readme file suggests checking the email server's log files to see what happened to the email.

    At this current time I am unable to access the email server logs.

    Does WPMU use the same method to send notification as WP? I am using WP and have had no issues with emails for user activations on the same server.

    Is WPMU using SendMail to send out the notifications?

    Where are the configurations for the mail settings that WPMU uses since we never entered anything in during the installation, how does it configure the mail settings?

    What is WPMU putting in the FROM field when it sends emails out to members?

    support@yourdomain.com.

    If the user "nobody" does not have permissions to send mail from the server, that might do it.

    Yes, it would. However, there is an SMTP hack/plugin running around here somewhere.
