Verification Code not found

[Everlast]

Hi guys,

I have some problems regarding the registration of user on my shop. I can't show a live version, 'cause I'm running it local.

When a user registers, it first says the mail function doesn't work. The Joomla error displays in Dutch: "Kan mailfunctie niet uitvoeren.", in English: "Can't operate mailfunction". Although the user gets an e-mail, strange.

Another thing, when the user click on the button in the e-mail "Use this link to activate your account", he gets redirected to the homepage, with the message: "Registration failed: Verification code not found." I can however see the users registration in the admin backend, but the user can't login.

Any ideas?

You cannot properly test this type of registration using localhost. In any case to require email confirmation of registration for a shopper is not a good idae - better to have the sale completed without roadblocks.

Same problem over here (also in The Netherlands by the way!).

I am using the newest Joomla & newest VM online.
Orders are not emailed and produce the errormessage in Dutch: "Kan mailfunctie niet uitvoeren.", in English: "Can't operate mailfunction".
Contactform does not work, and the ''ask a question about this product'' also refuses to do its duty...

I checked the fields in my general joomla configuration on tabpage server, but I haven't got a clue what might be wrong here...

AYUDO - HELP - HELLUP!

The Joomla Mail Settings are used to send mail, so ,aybe you need to configure them for your server. For some reason PHP mailing is not permitted on some shared hosts.

After quite some digging on virtuemart.net forum I found the solution for my emailproblems, hopefully it will help you too:

It appears to be a bug in the latest joomla version, something that bites with a certain php version. Very complicated, but the quickest solution was to replace the file \libraries\phpmailer\phpmailer.php by the same file of an older joomla version. I uploaded the file from Joomla 2.5.4 geupload, and it works!
