phpList Not Emailing?

[Nitron]

I recently setup phpList (installed via cPanel) and everything seems to be working except the little fact that it doesn't email... As in it won't send out a confirmation email upon a user signing up, or mass mailing users on the list, or any form of emailing, it won't do it and it doesn't leave any traces as to why...

Any suggestions/tips?

very possiblity its a corrupt cPanel install....

Personally I always try to manually
install stuff and avoid using cPanel's auto installer...
I advise my customers to do same even if its a pain for them

Anyways ~ try a manual install


<EDIT>PS, I've never in my life used a mailing list,
and to my knowledge none of my customers use any
so I cannot help you anymore than just that...</EDIT>

Have you check your error log? Might tell us a little more.

I think the problem is here:

What should I put for this:

# when the protocol is pop, specify these three
$bounce_mailbox_host = 'localhost';
$bounce_mailbox_user = 'popuser';
$bounce_mailbox_password = 'password';

Also, it says my pageroot is wrong.

relative to the root directory of your webserver

It doesn't take /public_html/folderhere/lists/

try
/home/user_name/public_html/folderhere/lists/

[Nitron]

Hmm, it still claims it's wrong after changing it to that.

[Jonathan]

or even just /folderhere/lists/

Hmmmm ....

/home/YOURUSERNAME/public_html/folderhere/lists/

should work. You are inserting your CPanel username in there for "YOURUSERNAME" aren't you?

yup

[Nitron]

I dunno if this will help but this is what it says on the default config file:

# if you change the path to the PHPlist system, make the change here as well
# path should be relative to the root directory of your webserver (document root)
$pageroot = '/lists';
$adminpages = $pageroot . '/admin';

The script itself is functional, despite this error (with the exception of the little fact it won't yet email, but i'll debug after I solve this).

[Nitron]

I fixed the email error but I still be the pageroot error.

have you looked or posted at phplist's own support forum>?

Yes, they just say to make sure the directory is specified correctly.
