    Default Newbie questions

    Hi all - installed the script without an issue (nice clear instructions and easy to use install routine - top job!)

    1. Have installed and have running the upload progress bar - however - at the end of upload it bombs the user out to login screen. I clearly have not changed a permissions somewhere - but where?
    2. When PayPal subscribe is turned on - unpaid (in this case my vshare test user) customers bomb out to an undefined screen - how do I configure custom error pages like I would on a standard website?
    3. Change logo in admin - simply cannot get this to work....
    4. Will be embarking on customisation of all of the look and feel of the site - is there a "cheat sheet" to help me identify the areas of the original template to make changes quicker?
    5. If email authorisation is turned on - email is not being sent (Where is the setting that I missed??)

    When I am a bit more up to speed with modding this script layout I'll be able to come back and help others - till then, YOUR help is appreciated!!!

    This is because the url in config.php and uu_default_config.pm are different.

    If you have url like

    http://www.yourdomain.com

    In config.php

    You should put

    http://www.yourdomain.com/upload.php

    in uu_default_config.pm

    If you missed or add a www, it will not work as cookie/session valid for domain with www is not valid for the one with out www, true for resverse too.

    You need to set paypal email in admin area.

    You need to set permission 777 images folder and all files inside it.

    You can ask in the template modification forum.

    Only reason for this is your mail server is not able to send mail or mail server is black listed. vshare use php mail function, so if that works, mails will work.

    To verify, upload a simple php script that can send mail and see if PHP can send mail from your server.

    Creat a file with name mail_test.php

    Then put following content

    Code:
    <HTML>
<BODY>
<?php

mail("[email protected]","Test Mail","Test mail from server");

echo "Mail send at - ";
echo time();

?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

    Replace [email protected] with your email address.

    Upload file to your server and call it, if everything works, you will get a mail. If not, your server have some problem.

    Blimey - thanks for all that - here are the results.

    This is because the url in config.php and uu_default_config.pm are different.
    yup - I'd used www. and without (numpty newbie mistake)

    You need to set paypal email in admin area.
    Had done that but had left "test payment" on.

    Only reason for this is your mail server is not able to send mail or mail server is black listed. vshare use php mail function, so if that works, mails will work.
    Interesting one this - the error is not showing at vshare - but on logging into the cPanel and then webmail I have found the following (one example of repeated error)

    This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
    recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

    richard@******.*****
    Gid 32035 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.

    ------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------

    This is on hosthat.com as recommended on this site so I am surprised at this failure - suggestions on a fix gratefully received

    You can ask in the template modification forum.
    Will do

    Re: Logo problem - your answer

    You need to set permission 777 images folder and all files inside it.
    I have changed this (wasn't 777) - but this does not appear to have fixed - same issue. File upload does not change the logo itself. It has occurred to me that perhaps I should simply ftp a different file (with same name) to the images to see if this works - but then I decided I should do it properly through the admin screen - so suggestions welcome!

    Payment, what error you get ?

    For mail, contact hostonnet.com, it seems a mail server problem.
