Yes, you need to modify the lib/modules/default/auth.inc.php

change line 168 from
$user['active'] = 0;
to
$uset['active'] = 1;

this will activate the user straight away.
Although the user should receive an e-mail with a link to confirm
activation.

Hi David,
your php installation is probably outdated. Probably you are using php4.
Open Upload needs at least php 5.0

It's a known problem when setting up the txtdb with the setup script.
Please set it up manually. (copying the files from the sql directory, and
changing the config file manually, at least for the first setup)

Re: [openupload-devel] Password recovery

Hi Alessandro,

 I would like to have a simple password recovery hook, sending a new
password to a submitted email.

 This should work with the default database auth method.

 Will try.

I'd go for modifing the user.inc.php and eventully have hooks in the 
corresponding auths if needed (actually it should only work on the 
default database auth method, as AD / LDAP should not be allowed).

This obvously depends on how you want to implement it (via e-mail? via a 
  private question / answer?)

A plugin with current version is not usable as the hooks miss completely.

If you implement it please submit the patch :)

Check the www/.htaccess file and remove it.
Then set the openupload maximum file size to 2Gb
that should do it.

Also check that your apache configuration is not limiting the upload.
A look at the apache error log should give you some clues.

yes, for the upload. I have a basic implementation of this, but it needs 
some more devel to be able to trak the upload status. (obiously more 
dependencies here)

Also probably for such big files FTP would be a better way to upload. I 
have a feature request for this, but haven't done anything in that 
matter. Actually any other method can be used (scp, samba, etc) but this 
is more suitable for distributing big files to the outside.

I'll need some more info.
I suppose you already set the php.ini to handle file upload and posts 
bigger that 2GB.

Also you do not have any .htaccess file which might interfere with it.

If this is so what does the error log say about the upload?

I found this... [1] so I suppose the also 64bit versions of PHP do not 
allow files bigger that 2GB, and that's bad news...
I have tryed it on my ubuntu 9.10 and the limitation seems to be there 
also, and the bad thing is that the script does not even get notified by it.
If I set the value bigger than 2GB in php.ini it is reverted back to the 
44bytes which does not even allow me to login...

Probably the only workaround is to use a perl cgi then.

Hi Leonardo,
I'm not aware of any implementation of this.

You'll have to modify the user.inc.php and the login template files to 
do so, as there are no plugin hook there to use the plugins. (should not 
be very dificult)

Sorry for the delay,
Have you been able to fix this yet?

What is bugging me is that you are somehow the subject gets changed to 
html code.

Maybe using html_entity_decode in conjunction with the previous changes 
to make the subject be utf-8 solves the problem...

Try changing the previous modified line with:

$subject = '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode(html_entity_decode($subject)).'?=';

Let me know.

As this was a small change, easy to implement and somehow interesting, I

the group associated to a user that hasn't yet logged in, based on it's IP.

Anybody interested in using/testing it can find it attached to this [1]

Well, it's a bit dificult to know what is wrong with it.
Maybe you are not allowed to send e-mails via php.
Or the php e-mail is not configured correctly.
I think to start is to look at the web server logs, which might give you 
some tip on what's wrong, otherwise if you can check the e-mail server 
logs (at your site) that could also lead you to the problem.

On many systems the sendmail command is used, which does send e-mail 
identification as ap...@ho...
Many mail servers do check if there exists a DNS MX record to the domain 
of the sender, and if not it discards it. That could lead to a bouncing 
e-mail which simply gets discarded.

I do plan to use swift mailer library in next version, but that's not 
ready yet.

Hope this helps,
Alessandro

Brilliant !
It was line 269 for me (return mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header); /*
remove the from part */  instead of return
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header,'-f "'.$from.'"');), and now i can
receive email notifications !

I don't think I do this, but should check to be sure. afair I always use

This does clarify some things.
1. as stated they suggest to use the php mail() function which is what I 
do, but to leave the sender empty, so try changing line 270 in 
lib/general.inc.php to this:

return mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header); /* remove the from part */

2. If this does not work we should use sendmail directly which is a bit 
more complex. If 1 does not solve the problem then I'll send you a 
change to use sendmail directly.
We do not use an smtp server so that part is not relevant.

Hope this helps,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Thank you, i'm going to ask my hosting support if they have an idea.

In their FAQ they write about sendmail :

------------------------

1- My php or perl forms providing access to sendmail or used for
uploading files (the server sends "ok" to the browser, but nothing
happens) don't work any more. What's the reason?
Following recent waves of spam and an injection of urls on our servers,
we have added a new rule on our servers blocking access for POST type
requests with "http" in the QUERY_STRING.

As a result you shouldn't make POST type requests with "http://" in the
QUERY_STRING; you only need to enter www.domain.xyz for example instead
of http://www.domain.xyz

2- How can I send email from my site via the server, without authentication?
As far as possible you need to use the PHP mail() function on the
server, and not send emails via the SMTP servers. You shouldn't specify
a sender email address (leave the relevant box blank)

With mail(), it isn't possible to send email with your PHP or Perl
scripts. You need to use sendmail (in this case the path being
/usr/sbin/sendmail), or specify SMTP "localhost" as server, namely the
server where your site is hosted and which has its own mail server.

You therefore need to add to your config

$smtp_server = "localhost";

3- Where can I find sendmail?
/usr/sbin/sendmail

------------------------
Does it help you ?

Hi Edgar,
The e-mail function is in lib/general.inc.php
the function is sendmail() which then calls the php native mail() function

Beside that you should be able to access the logs for your domain in a 
shared environment too, as usually they are separated (to do log 
analisys and so on), but that depends on the offering.

Hi Alessandro,

Here's the php configuration of my shared hosting :

Problem is i have no access to these logs (probably because it's a
shared and not dedicated hosting).
Maybe if you can tell me what is the OpenUpload code which is supposed
to send the emails, i can ask for my hosting support ?
