    Re: email not going

    You'll need to setup a pointer to an SMTP server in the php.ini file.

    Re: email not going

    Hello Greg

    The issue is my atutor is installed in a sub-folder on my website. How do make changes to php.ini................this is a conventional website on a conventional server. I don't even know where the server is located. Can you guide me a bit as to how to send mails.
    If it's not possible, then can u tell me a method of enrolling students without involving e-mail in the enrollment process.
    regards

    Re: email not going

    If you are on a hosted system, the system administrator will need to set the SMTP server in php.ini. (if the system is a Win 2003 server).

    Or, you can register all your students through the enrollment manager, then manually send them their user names and password. When they are created they are based on the first initial, underscore, lastname (e.g. login j_smith; password j_smith)

    ATutor is not going to function to its full capability if your server is not configured to handle email. I would suggest you find a host that uses Linux and Apache. Win2003 and IIS are not the most reliable when working with PHP based applications.
