Checking out the email new password function, it evidently doesn't work, as I have tried it, with no new pw being emailed. When it asks me for either my email or my username, I put it in, then click Email New Password, there is no confirmation that it got emailed, and it kicks me back to the login/email new pw screen. Any help will be apprieciated. Thx in advance.

Hi Tiwahe, I was wondering wh
Hi Tiwahe, I was wondering what your OS, web server and db you're running. The reason I ask is I see some having the same problems with IIS; and I'm having the same, but I haven't found a solution in any of the comments or nodes I've read.
[mail function]
On a windows box, you will need to edit the php.ini and add an entry for an SMTP server you can send email through.
From mine
line 594 ; For Win32 only.
line 595 SMTP = 192.168.254.3
line 596
line 597 ; For Win32 only.
line 598 sendmail_from = site@sample.com
IIS comes with an SMTP server. PLEASE do NOT set it up as an open relay. That would be bad.

oh yes, KEEP YOUR SERVER PATCHED! It's simple, Microsoft comes out with patches once a month now.

I have my smtp settings setup
I have my smtp settings setup in my php.ini correctly. I can use mail() with other php scripts and have run a few tests.
hmmm
well then I am out of ideas for you.
The only other thing I can thing of is the database user permissions are not set correctly, but that is a wild guess with no idea of how you would troubleshoot the issue.

I appreciate the attempts for sure :)
The database connection's been tested, looks good; the dbuser has full permissions on the db. I'll just keep searching and hopefully run across something or have someone chime in who might have solved this.
last try
You have the various permissions on directories for php temp/session tmp stuff correct for IUSR_site don't you?

Running RedHat 6.2 w/ MySql. Guess I should've made that clear...sorry about that. Still need help on that tho :(
That certainly changes things
That certainly changes things IMO. Certainly makes me change gears from the OS-perspective to perhaps a php setting somewhere that we may have in common or something like that...
One other question for you -
One other question for you - are you running your mail server locally?
Yes, I left that alone(defaul
Yes, I left that alone(default) matter-of-fact, I don't even remember messing with it.
Alright, then it's most likel
Alright, then it's most likely not a mail setting but a php setting I'm guessing, although other then setting up a temp directory and my mail settings within it (for Windows), I've made no other changes other then what Drupal recommended on the installation page. Perhaps a permission error somewhere, but I'm not sure what yet... I'd really like to use Drupal over other CMS-like solutions, I just hope I can get this going...

I hear ya...I got one more thing to try...a co-worker here knows about Drupal, gonna talk to him, if that don't work, I'm either gonna try another CMS...or just put up my website and 'deal' with it. :(
Yeah, I know what you're sayi
Yeah, I know what you're saying. I was quite happy when I found Drupal, but I don't think I'm ready to get another server just to possibly get it working :?
Let us know how it goes and if you get it working, what changes you had to make :)

I've pretty much given up, couldn't find any help. Guess I'll just use HTML :(
