Can't get activation email to work with Ion Auth... - El Forum - 09-27-2013

I've nearly finished with a website, I just need to get authentication stuff up and running but I am facing a problem. I've got root/application/config/ion_auth.php necessary parts sset up:

Code:
$config['email_activation']           = TRUE;

$config['use_ci_email'] = TRUE;

And as per Codeiginter documentation I've created root/application/config/email.php with the following contents:

Code:

&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

$config['protocol']='smtp';

$config['smtp_host']='ssl://smtp.gmail.com.'; //(SMTP server)

$config['smtp_port']='465'; //(SMTP port)

$config['smtp_timeout']='30';

$config['smtp_user']='[email protected]'; //([email protected])

$config['smtp_pass']='password'; // (gmail password)

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';

$config['newline'] = "\r\n";





/* End of file email.php */

/* Location: ./application/config/email.php */

However when I try and sign up I get the form error:

Unable to Send Activation Email

And about a dozen of the following errors:

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1846

I'm pretty sure this is because I haven't got SSL on my server, and gmail requires SSL to work (I've tried without the ssl://) but I just want to be sure before I go ahead getting a dedicated IP and buying an SSL cert that no one else has had this problem. It would also be great to have a way to test sign up functionality without having to go through the bother of setting up SSL, are there any email clients that I can test without SSL?

Thanks all! Smile

I'd just make a self signed cert for testing before going that route.

I hope that isn't your real email/password in your posted code.

Oh my goodness. That might've been the most stupid thing I've ever done. I am amazed with myself. Incredible what a long day and an eagerness to go home will do to you. Thank you for pointing it out. Luckily no one logged in.

Wow.
