I lost about 20 new users that wanted to register and couldn't do it. It happened since i checked the email verification in the host settings. I saw about 20 entries like this in the event manager : Code: System 26/11/2008 14:16:50 user_register in DB.cs Hide | Delete
System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Failure sending mail. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 64.202.165.58:25 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.InternalConnect(EndPoint remoteEP) at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.ServicePoint.GetConnection(PooledStream PooledStream, Object owner, Boolean async, IPAddress& address, Socket& abortSocket, Socket& abortSocket6, Int32 timeout) at System.Net.PooledStream.Activate(Object owningObject, Boolean async, Int32 timeout, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback) at System.Net.PooledStream.Activate(Object owningObject, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback) at System.Net.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Object owningObject, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback, Int32 creationTimeout) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpConnection.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.GetConnection() at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at yaf.Utils.SendMail(ForumPage basePage, MailAddress fromAddress, MailAddress toAddress, String subject, String body) at yaf.DB.user_register(ForumPage page, Object boardID, Object userName, Object password, Object email, Object location, Object homePage, Object timeZone, Boolean emailVerification)
Did i lost all their information? What is the cause of this error? in the meantime i disabled email verification, and i tried to test sending mail from yaf, it gives me the next page: Code: There has been a serious error loading the forum. No futher information is available.
Please contact the administrator if this message persists.
and in the event log i get: Code:26/11/2008 14:41 in System Failure sending mail. at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) at yaf.Utils.SendMail(ForumPage basePage, MailAddress fromAddress, MailAddress toAddress, String subject, String body) at yaf.pages.admin.mail.Send_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) ----------------------------- 26/11/2008 14:41 in System Unable to connect to the remote server at System.Net.ServicePoint.GetConnection(PooledStream PooledStream, Object owner, Boolean async, IPAddress& address, Socket& abortSocket, Socket& abortSocket6, Int32 timeout) at System.Net.PooledStream.Activate(Object owningObject, Boolean async, Int32 timeout, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback) at System.Net.PooledStream.Activate(Object owningObject, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback) at System.Net.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Object owningObject, GeneralAsyncDelegate asyncCallback, Int32 creationTimeout) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpConnection.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpTransport.GetConnection(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.GetConnection() at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message) ----------------------------- 26/11/2008 14:41 in System A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 64.202.165.58:25 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.InternalConnect(EndPoint remoteEP) at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception)

The information shouldn't be lost. The user accounts should appear in the administration where you can manually approve them. But it seems you have a problem with your email configuration. Please see web.config, or mail.config (dependend on which version of yaf you use) and verify the email settings in there. - Sry for my english BattCursor.Net - Official homepage of that tool for vista laptops!

i think it's lost i have no new users on the user list. That's the code in the web.config: Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <configSections> <section name="yafnet" type="yaf.SectionHandler,yaf"/> <section name="rewriter" type="Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.Configuration.RewriterConfigurationSectionHandler, Intelligencia.UrlRewriter" /> </configSections>
<yafnet configSource="yafnet.config"/> <rewriter configSource="urlrewriter.config"/> <system.web> <httpModules> <add type="Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.RewriterHttpModule,Intelligencia.UrlRewriter" name="UrlRewriter" /> </httpModules> <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8"/> <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="false"/> <pages enableEventValidation="false" validateRequest="false" smartNavigation="false"/> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name=".YAFNET_Authentication" timeout="525600" /> </authentication> <customErrors defaultRedirect="error.aspx" mode="RemoteOnly"/> <!--trace enabled="true" pageOutput="true"/--> <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/></system.web> </configuration> I don't see any mail settings there, can you help me please? right now mail verification is disabled by me, but even sending mail from the forum doesn't work.

I dont know if they will appear in the user list, but you should see them in the administration - admin index - Unverified Users. Here you can approve them, if there are any. Anyways, very small web.config file... What version of yaf do you use? - Sry for my english BattCursor.Net - Official homepage of that tool for vista laptops!

thanks, but the list of unverified users is empty, anyway the yaf version is 1.9.1.8. It wasn't installed by me but it was installed by the hosting company Cheapdomainnames and secureserver.net. my access to the files is through ftp client. is there a way for me to upgrade? how can i run a file on the server through ftp client?

ok, then the information seems to be lost. I haven't found any email settings in this yaf version, but you can try this: Add this to your web.config file before </configuration> Code:<system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp> <network host="127.0.0.1" port="25" defaultCredentials="false" userName="xxxxx" password="xxxxxx"/> </smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net> Replace the network host, username and password with this one you shoud get from your hosting provider. After that upload the file (make a backup of the original file first) and try it  Well, of course you can upgrade to the current version, except you are restricted by your hosting provider, but it's still a beta version, even it runs fine on my web. What do you mean with run a file? Using ftp you can only upload and download files, renaming, ... but not execute. - Sry for my english BattCursor.Net - Official homepage of that tool for vista laptops!

The Email SMTP Settings for Ver.1.9.1.8 are in the admin section Log in as admin Click admin at the top Click Host Settings on the left 5th Section down is SMTP Server Settings You need the SMTP Server name from your hosting company http://www.cheapdomainna...lp/SettingMXRecords.asp
from the looks of the Faq on your hosting co. Try smtp."yourdomainname.com" in the smtp settings field. you may need to setup the MX records as described at the link Good Luck

hi, actually, i'm on another cheapdomainames company (seems there are many companies with that name?) their site is this : https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop
and the smtp server ( the same i use at outlook2003, there it works) is : smtpout.secureserver.net i surely entered the settings in the admin pain on yaf forum, but i get the same errors, the forum can't send emails. i also tried my isp smtp server , and same error.

logan wrote:The Email SMTP Settings for Ver.1.9.1.8 are in the admin section Whoops, I don't know that.  In my case I have to set the mail server address to "127.0.0.1" (or "localhost" which is the same), specially if I can't enter username and password for the mail account. I can't look for your case, because the link to your hosting provider seems to be wrong?! But yes, you should be able to upgrade using ftp, but that version you are using is the latest stable version. But if you want to give the 1.9.3 RC2 a try, be sure to make a complete backup first (file system and database) to be on the safe side  - Sry for my english BattCursor.Net - Official homepage of that tool for vista laptops!

Try this as smtp server, if 127.0.0.1 won't work: Code:relay-hosting.secureserver.net This one should be the correct one  - Sry for my english BattCursor.Net - Official homepage of that tool for vista laptops!

They must be a Godaddy reseller.
They use the smtpout.secureserver.net and relay-hosting.secureserver.net.
Good Luck with your forum.
