Frequently Asked Questions

No emails?

I am not receiving emails when someone joins!

There could be several causes for this.

  1. Open up config.php, and make sure line 31 looks like this:

    $emailnotify ="Y";

  2. Make sure you filled in a working email address on line 9:

    $adminemail ="you@yourdomain.com";

  3. Do not put anything else into that email address variable. It won’t work if you try to put a subject in it like this:

    $adminemail ="you@domain.com?subject=New_Member";

    This will cause the PHP coding to no longer work. It’s also unnessecary, as the email that gets sent to you already has a subject defined, with the name of your fanlisting in it (so you know which fanlisting it is for, in case you run several).

  4. Your host may have disabled the sending of e-mails through PHP. Many hosts are doing this to stop spammers from abusing insecure or badly written scripts, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it other than asking them nicely to turn it back on for you. There is absolutely no guarantee that they will do this, however.
