Well, I have finally found a solution to my problem while setting up a complete functions server from localhost including these elements: rAthena MySql PHP 5 Apache Web Server Flux Control Panel Everything works. Solution: Modified the php mailer class to use 'sendmail' instead of mail or smtp, and disabled smtp insde the application.php. This made me have to setup sendmail for use with the fluxcp, which was easy. You justt need to modify the fluxcp mailer information to use sendmail, and then point to the sendmail.exe also. Sendmail allows php to send mail via smtp. You just configure the sendmail.ini with seetings you would have used in the application.php for fluxcp. This workaround worked nicely for me. I now know how to fully setup an rAthena server, with all the bells and whistles. Now I am just going to go practice/learn some more php, so I can have a good website with forums and all of that. I can probalby find premade templates and such will be nice, but I like to customize. Eventually I will be able to integrate to a better host, and launch my project. I am getting closer =p. Anyways, if anybody has any questions, I am willing to help with them.

Did you read my post, or look at my code? Thanks for your reply, but that is not useful to me in any way, as I already know how to used a smtp server. I will be more specific. I istalled abyss webserver, and PHP 5 manually. I then installed flux cp. So here is what my director for each looks like: c:\web\abyss\httpdocs\fluxcp c:\php c:\mysql Everything is working except the mail feature of FluxCP. I suspect that I am missing the link between Flux's code, declaring how to handle mail, and the means through which that is executed. From all the searching I have done, and browsing through fluxcp code, the best idea I can come up with is: FluxCP tries to use the sendmail program for php? However I must not have it, or have it configured. If this hunch is correct, could a more savy php/flux guy/girl point me in the direction for where I would have to edic flux's code/configuration to point to the correct sendmail application. Additionally, is there anyone who has knowledge or experience setting up sendmail? I believe this is my problem, as I did not install from any kind of pre-setup package. I think the program which flux uses to send mail is the php sendmail module/addon, but I am not for certain. I just need confirmation on this, and some guidance. Oh, also I don't even know if sendmail is the program that talks to smtp servers, or the program that uses the fake mail to disk things I read about. Either way as long as emails can be sent out, I will be happy with it. EDIT: Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr? Is fluxcp suppose to be able to use the smtp feature with a barebone install of php5, a web server, and fluxcp? If this IS the case, then the issue lies within some service I a missing from my pc which allows communication to happen from the php scripts, and gmails smtp servers. I just need help in narrowing the possibilities down, and if nobody wants to GIVE me the answer, then fine. Please just point me in the right direction. I have read all other suggestions, and tried them all. Please just focus on responding to the questions/ideas in this edit.

Hello! My control panel is not able to send mails to registering users, or through the send email tool. The errors I pulled from the email log are "failed to blah blah blah", and another one was "could not initiate mailer" or something like that. I have read through alllllll of the topics on people having issues with setting up smtp with fluxcp. (yes i am trying to use gmail - smtp.gmail.com). Here is what my application.php looks like: AllowDuplicateEmails' => true, 'RequireEmailConfirm' => true, 'RequireChangeConfirm' => true, 'EmailConfirmExpire' => 48, 'MailerFromAddress' => '[email protected]', 'MailerFromName' => 'TestiRo', 'MailerUseSMTP' => true, 'MailerSMTPUseSSL' => true, 'MailerSMTPUseTLS' => false, 'MailerSMTPPort' => 465, 'MailerSMTPHosts' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'MailerSMTPUsername' => '[email protected]', <----------------------(my gmail account) 'MailerSMTPPassword' => ***********', <---------------------(my password) This is all fine and dandy... I have tried all the suggestion modifications such as using TLS with the appropriate port change, and also even changing smtp.gmail.com to ssl://smtp.gmail.com. I cannot get the mail feature to work period. I called my ISP to see if there was some kind of block on my outgoing request for gmail's smtp service. They assured me there was not. I have comcast. I tried to test the following using telnet: o smtp.gmail.com 465 No connectoin is ever made. However the default smtp port of 25 worked with the telnet connection, but if I try to use 25 in the application.php configuration, it still wont connect. (this was my next logical step, just in case.) After much googling, I found that telnet cannot connect to gmail's smtp, because it requires a secure connection (SSL). Maybe this has somethign to do with how my machine is setup, and why it cannot connect to the smtp server gmail provides... I just don't know. Here is what I ask: Is there any kind of configuration needed in preperation for fluxcp's mail features? Such as additional software, php scripting/extensions/addons, or what? Where do I start in resolving this now? I I have all the following things working on my local machine (localhost): RO private server (with pre-re databases). Mysql Service Abyss Web Server PHP 5 FluxCP (everything except the mail feature). Any help with this would be appreciated GREATLY!

I'm sorry, but I haven't been active enough on these forums lately to help you with what you want. I'm not trying to be rude, but why should anybody have to teach you? I learned on my own. Everybody else here pretty much learned on their own. The reason I want you to learn on your own is so that you ACTUALLY knwo what you're doing instead of putting out another terrible server that will just die in a few months. Thanks for your reply. I already know how to customize nearly everything now server/client side. I no longer need to know anything as I requested, with the exception of PHP scripting, but thank you anyways for your work thus far. For the record: I never DEMANDED anyone to do anything, I only requested. I do appreciate ANY advice or help given here. I did offer compensation for services rendered, which constitutes a contract/agreement. So being snide about me wanting to learn, and having a mentor/tutor is uncalled for. It was simply an invitation to negotiate terms in which I offered compensation for service. Thank You

Firstly: Thank you for the video tutorials. I am sure your tutorial will help everyone who wants to make a server. Secondly: I would like to point out, that in your tutorials, you mention a "what you need" list of software to complete a server. The problem I have with following your guide is that you mention XAMPP. You only mention this, but you do not show the community how to use it; meaning, you do not guide people on how to install, and configure it for later use. XAMPP comes with some NEEDED tools for running a server. I understand that your tutorial shows people how to set up a functioning server, but this is a barebone server with no features. What if we want to install a control panel later on? Well to do this, we need ADVANCED knowledge of how to install and configure the following: Web Server PHP phpmyadmin (i think?). For me, I would just love a guide that will actually take you through this process. Since you mention XAMPP, and XAMPP has the necessary tools to get your server ready for integration into public domain (website, forums, control panel), maybe you could show us how to setup those elements. The guides which show us how to set up control panels (at least he ones I can find), assume you have all that stuff installed and ready to go. I am new here, so I don't know much abou tthe community, and who to go to in order to get things done, but... If someone could at least teach me the FULL PROCESS of a functional server with installation of any control panel (preferrably flux), I would give back to the community by posting a step-by-step guide with video + sound. This guide would be a "COMPLETE" guide, and save time for everyone. Additionally, having a guide from start to finish, with every detail included in ALL the steps, will reduce errors for new users/developers. In short: I am requesting a full guide/tutorial with all details in every step included for the following end goal elements: Ragnarok Private Server -includes MySql setup Web Server Setup and Configuration Control Panel Setup -includes PHP setup and configuration -Includes phpmyadmin setup and configuration The guide can use localhost for networking information, as once you learn to set it up on a localhost, integrating onto a better server is easy. <---(I would add this guide also, if I am tought the rest) I already know how to get a server up and running in the basic form, as your video tutorial shows, but if somebody could teach me the rest, such as PHP, phpmyadmin, and control panel setup+configuration, I would be glad to compile all this information into a 1-stop DETAILED video+sound tutorial, with ZERO errors. The guide will be restricted to english however, so language barriers would not be my fault. Lastly: If all this information is readily availible at rAthena somewhere, and I simply could not find it, would somebody please point me in the right direction/link it? I will still compile the guide I mentioned, as long as I can find the proper steps to do so. Thank You Bloppins
