Oscommerce Problems

[Jaima]

I have the Plesk instal in a server with Suse. I install an Oscommerce in one of my sites, but it dosn't works well.
When I create a new customer, they don't resive any mail,and if I change the owner's mail to other that don't belong to the server, it dosn't resive anything.

Dose anyone know what is happening??

Sounds like you should check the SMTP settings in the osCommerce setup - when I tested the shop a while ago I had no problems.

Check your Administration -> Configuration -> E-mail options in osCommerce. You might have a wrong configuration setup.

This is the configuration of my of my Oscommerce, I think it is ok, or I'm rong?

E-Mail Transport Method: smtp
E-Mail Linefeeds: CRLF
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails: false
Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS: false
Send E-Mails: true

Can you guide me to some help with Oscommerce?

Sorry to interrupt what you are doing here, but thought you might be able to help me. I know nothing about the oscommerce and want to get started on this, is there an online manual, tutorial explaining helping/guiding me to setup and configure it correctly. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not sure, but I actually think you should set it to: sendmail

I don't think your osCommerce application is allowed to send via SMTP.

Hmm... now I'm baffled... this is not a osCommerce support site - but yes, there's actually lots of guides, manuals, documentation, FAQs, userforums etc. for oscommerce. Try googling a bit - or even better start at http://www.oscommerce.com

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am well aware of the oscommerce site. But what I am interested in is some explanantion/help with Plesk configuring the osCommerce seems simple enough, just reading over problems in this forum whereby Plesk with httpdocs and httpsdocs - so on and so forth. Does Plesk itself have anything about setup on the Plesk platform or when you purchase the whole package with the Application vault. For example Macromedia Dreamweaver has online tutorial/help information when you are right in the program so you can chose HTML, javascript, flash, php. You know as well as I do or I think you do while you are in notepad you can hardcode HTML, php, javascript etc. They help you so that you are not spending hours trying to figure out how to set it up and what it should look like if you have done it correctly. That is why the questions. Also, I have forgotten how to long into the webmail when I am out of town. What is the url - you know hotmail or hushmail there is the main page to login to - what is the path for logging in? I know it is something like http or https then webmail.my domain name.com and is it horde before after or whatever. I hope this has explained it a lot more clearly. Thanks again.

osCommerce has nothing to do with Plesk and i can't remember I had any problems doing a plain setup/install just like the osCommerce installation guide says.

as for webmail... RTM - or try: http://webmail.<yoursite>.<tld> coulden't be more easy to remember

Thanks but that does not work. I agree it is simple just can't remember and it may not have been setup properly from the beginning. It has to have horde in their somewhere and I have tried different computations of typing.

webmail.mydomain. horde
horde.webmail.mydomain and so forth.

Thanks again everything is really appreciated but even though it says that webmail is turned on I think there might be a DNS problem on in some way the way it was setup.
